It has been confirmed that the pitch is playable ahead of next week's game.
On Wednesday the pitch at the Coventry Building Society Arena was inspected by an independent agronomist.
The inspection ruled that at the time of the visit the pitch was in a safe and playable condition with no safety concerns about next Wednesday’s game against Preston North End being played.
The pitch was deemed unsafe after it was used to host rugby during the Commonwealth Games.
New synthetic fibres have now been stitched into the ground throughout the pitch. These new fibres will give increased stability to the existing structure and then allow for better growth now and in the future.
Dave Boddy, Coventry City Chief Executive, said: “This is very pleasing news and we can’t wait until next Wednesday’s game.
“The confirmation that the pitch work has been successful in making the required improvements is what Sky Blues fans have been waiting to hear.
“The Preston match will be just £20 for Adults and with the school holidays also still on in Coventry and good weather expected, it’s a great opportunity for fans to come along and support Mark Robins and the team in our first home game of the campaign.”
