Suncorp Stadium, formally known as Lang Park, is the home of Rugby League in Queensland. Major redevelopment of the stadium was completed in June 2003 to convert it into a state-of-the-art all-seat stadium. Work commenced in July 2001 and the stadium was shut down for the duration of the project. All was demolished except for the main stand which was incorporated into the new design. The stadium is now one of the best true rectangular stadiums in the country.
Before work commenced, Suncorp Stadium had a capacity of over 40,000, including two grandstands, following redevelopment, the stadium now includes 52,500 seats in three levels. Events held at the stadium include Rugby League State of Origin, International and NRL matches, Rugby Union and Soccer. Teams to call the venue home include the Brisbane Broncos, Queensland Reds & Quensland Roar.
