Give us a clue - names of roads all around it, names of roads inside it, postcodes ???? When I typed Recoh Arena into MS Autoroute 2006 it didn't get anywhere. Have just looked at Royal Mail website and found Ricoh Arena - Coventry City FC, Phoenix Way, CV6 6GE. When I navigated to this, I only got Phoenix Way.
I have the "latest" map for the GOx00 series, downloaded new 28th November (supposedly same as the maps already included on the GO910, but I know of some tiny differences).

According to Wikipedia, the complex only opened latter end of 2005 - inaugural events starting in September 2005. Bit early yet to be on the Tom Tom map (it's not shown on Multimap or Streetmap yet either).

The first football matches were held there in 2004 but the roads leading to it were there and fully built way before then...i should know - as i my freinds house is only 300 yards from there.....

Sorry, not a Coventry FC fan, I was only looking at BBC web report ...

Anyway, the answer to your original question is the maps don't show any roads for the Ricoh Arena other than what you've already got on your GO910.
Neither do Autoroute Express 2006, Streemap.co.uk, nor Multimap.co.uk, so maybe they don't count as roads in the great big scheme of things and this is no use for judging whether the maps are up to date? But ALL of them will get you right outside by using the postcode and if it's big enough, once you're there you can probably see Tesco.
