I know Arsenal's, Liverpool's and Benfica's stadiums are designed by HOK but I don't know about Sporting.

I wish HOK did Suncorp Stadium, we are now left with a tin shed looking thing with ugly top corners to the stands.

HOK is the designer of Suncorp.

Many of those have contingent similarities based more on tried and tested designs. These may be sadle shaped stadiums with the bulk of the seating on the wings for obvious reasons. Single archs spans are a high efficient and strong engineering form so as are the large triangle braced spans like at Suncorp (which limit the need for obstructive columns). It is only logical that this technology will be common in large roof design. Other than that, these stadiums don't really have that much in common with each other, other than the obvious use and shape we associate with a stadium.
Because a stadiums design is strongly dictaded by budget, it is common to have a continuous basic form in the more utilitarian venues such as many single tiered UK soccer stadiums like middlesbrough's riverside to the larger Stadium of Light in Sunderland.
If I can think of stadiums that have more than just superficial likeness, it would tend to be designs that are a parody or tribute to an older like the United Centre towards its predecesor Chicago Stadium, Forrest Stadium of Frankfurt to the Berlin Olympic stadium (trust me) or in the more pathetic attempts, Subiaco's east end to the MCG's great southern stand.
3 venues I know little about but seen to share much in common is Minneapolis' Target Center, Milwaukee's Bradley Center and the newer New Orleans Arena.
