The footbridge connects the stadium to a large car park, but is also useful to pedestrians walking to the railway station and the Arena shopping development. The stadium opened in 2005 as the Ricoh Arena, but a change of sponsorship in 2021 has led to a change of name, to the Coventry Building Society Arena. For most of its history the arena has been the home ground of Coventry City football club, which moved there from the old Highfield Road ground in 2005, and its logo is visible on the stadium wall to the left of the bridge. To the right can be seen the symbol of Wasps rugby union club, who relocated to the Coventry arena from High Wycombe in 2014 and bought it outright in that year.
