- Changing location of a secondary or tertiary industry
- Coventry football stadium
- From the Inner City (Highfield rd) to Brownfield site (Holbrooks) outer city
- Highfield Rd was old and unsuited for the modern day activities
- Narrow roads and high density housing was unsuitable
- Local people complained about the noise and congestion on Match days
- Large Brownfield site in Holbrooks offered space for a large stadium and parking
- New site is close to the M6
- possibility of opening a train station on the Coventry/Nuneaton railway line which ran past the site
- Available opportunities available to be part of the new mixed development - arena, conference facilities, library and retail park
- Loss of Jobs in stadium (Highfield rd)
- Declining profits in local businesses (Highfield rd)
- New housing for different groups of people which increased their happiness (Highfield rd)
- New jobs in area (Holbrooks)
- Conference centre for adults, students, pensioners
- Parking restrictions are unpopular with local people
