Parking would be a big issue. We want to reduce our carbon footprint but also attract more fans. All out of town stadiums usually have a large car park built for which the clubs charge a handsome amount so they will want to fill that and make money and attract fans but this will increase the carbon footprint.
You could use a park and ride like Shrewsbury do but that's not ideal for all fans and could put some off attending.
As with all out of town new builds, location and transport links are vital.
Rotherham for example have sited their ground pretty much near the town centre so it's within walking distance of the bus and railway station. They don't actually have any parking at the ground for non disabled supporters and they are encouraged to either use the town centre car parks or public transport into Rotherham and walk.
