Cavaliers founder <a href="/wiki/Nick_Mileti" title="Nick Mileti">Nick Mileti</a> was the driving force behind the Coliseum's construction, believing that its location in northern Summit County south of Cleveland near the confluence of the <a href="/wiki/Ohio_Turnpike" title="Ohio Turnpike">Ohio Turnpike</a> and <a href="/wiki/Interstate_77" title="Interstate 77">Interstates 77</a> and <a href="/wiki/Interstate_271" title="Interstate 271">271</a> was ideally suited given the growth of <a href="/wiki/Urban_sprawl" title="Urban sprawl">urban sprawl</a>. </p><p>The Coliseum was built in Richfield to draw fans from both of <a href="/wiki/Northeast_Ohio" title="Northeast Ohio">Northeast Ohio</a>'s major cities, as nearly five million Ohioans lived within less than an hour's drive (in good weather) from the Coliseum. While the arena's location hindered attendance somewhat, the Cavaliers' average attendance was over 18,000 per game each of the last two seasons at the Coliseum.

The Coliseum's real drawback was that the revenue-producing luxury suites were at the uppermost level and, as such, were the worst seats in the house. This situation was rectified at Gund Arena, where the suites were much closer to the playing area. </p><p>Also hurting attendance was the arena's location at the interchange of Interstate 271 and <a href="/wiki/Ohio_State_Route_303" title="Ohio State Route 303">Ohio State Route 303</a>, which was a rural, two-lane highway outside of Richfield. The rural location made the Coliseum inaccessible to anyone without an automobile, and as the only true access to the arena was directly at the interchange, traffic became an issue with every Coliseum event, especially when attendance was anywhere near capacity. <a href="/wiki/Lake-effect_snow" title="Lake-effect snow">Lake-effect snow</a> from <a href="/wiki/Lake_Erie" title="Lake Erie">Lake Erie</a> provided another obstacle to drivers during the winter months. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Demolition_and_environmental_remediation">Demolition and environmental remediation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Richfield_Coliseum&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Demolition and environmental remediation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Coliseum's fate was sealed in 1990, when voters in <a href="/wiki/Cuyahoga_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Cuyahoga County">Cuyahoga County</a> approved a new <a href="/wiki/Sin_tax" title="Sin tax">sin tax</a> to fund the <a href="/wiki/Gateway_Sports_and_Entertainment_Complex" title="Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex">Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex</a>, which included Gund Arena.
