Suncorp Stadium - Brisbane Roar FC Stadium Guide

Lang Park as a location was established way back in 1914 on the former site of a cemetery, and was initial designed to be a multi-purpose Sports Arena with football just one of the many activities which occurred in the Park along with Cycling, Athletics and Aussie Rules Football.

In 1957 the lease of the park was taken over by the Brisbane Rugby League Association, and it became the home of Queensland, who to this day still play at the stadium. The Rugby legacy of the Suncorp Stadium was enhanced when it hosted the 2008 Rugby League World Cup Final with Australia losing to bitter rivals New Zealand 34 points to 20.

In 1994 Suncorp-Metway Limited, Queenslands local financial institution attained naming rights of the stadium, and this commercial windfall helped spark the $280 million redevelopment project of the ground, with the Suncorp becoming a state of the art 52,500 all-seater rectangular stadium.

As a result of the Queensland Floods which seemed to plague the city between 2010-2011, Suncorp was damaged when the flooded pitch shorted a circuit in the transformer room resulting in a an electric fire. Although major damage was prevented, sports teams were forced to relocate stadiums until repairs were carried out – an inconvenience which affected Brisbane Roar’s on pitch performance.

Today, newly established A-League side Queensland Roar play their matches at the Suncorp Stadium, marking the grounds transition from Rugby Venue to multi-purpose stadium, with some journalists making favourable comparisons to Cardiff’s Millennium stadium.
