About Suncorp Stadium
Suncorp Stadium is south-east Queensland’s world class, state-of-the-art stadium and is considered by many to be the finest football venue in Australia. Situated in the heart of Brisbane city, Suncorp Stadium’s cauldron like design and proximity to the field ensures patrons a view and atmosphere unlike any other.
Originally established as a cemetery by Reverend John Dunmore Lang in 1840, the century that followed saw Brisbane grow rapidly and as a result, the city expanded west beyond Hale Street forcing the cemetery’s closure. By the end of the 19th Century, the unique suburbs surrounding the stadium were developed and heavily populated and this lack of open space led the Ithaca Council to petition for three acres of the site for use as recreational fields.
In 1891, the area was designed as a recreational reserve and was soon fenced off and used to facilitate football and cricket matches. With further urban development seemingly inevitable, increased public pressure to use the area for recreational purposes resulted in the local council persuading the Government of the day to re-use the dilapidated cemeteries.
Rubbish sites and parklands followed however the 6.2 hectare site was eventually fenced off and declared a public recreation reserve. Lang Park, as it was to be known, then evolved into a sporting precinct with tennis courts, athletic and football facilities.
In the years that would follow, Lang Park became home to some of Brisbane’s most avidly supported sporting bodies, including Queensland Rugby League and the Brisbane Broncos, as well as hosting international football, rugby union, rugby league and cricket matches. It even began hosting night baseball matches in 1972.
Following a report commissioned by the Queensland Government in 1999, a state-of-the-art modern stadium was proposed with construction commencing in 2001. By 2003, Brisbane was introduced to a ground that to this day holds a special place in the hearts of Queenslanders and is considered one of the sporting cathedrals of the state and city.
