Pretty amazing stadium. I've seen the Wallabies and Kangaroos play there a couple of times and the whole experience was fantastic.

didn't they rebuild the whole stadium as the stands are the same

No, rebuilt 3 sides, refurbished the Western Grandstand which was built in 1994 and the roof is designed to make the ground seem similar on all four sides when the Western side is different to the three 3 sides if looked at closely.

The stadium is now a 52,500 state of the art all-seater rectangular stadium, a far cry from the former Lang Park oval with two grandstands set back from a perimeter road. The only remaining stand from before the redevelopment is the Western Grandstand. The extension of the facility resulted in the demolition of a number of buildings along Milton Road, including the former Brisbane City Council Trolley-bus depot.

Suncorp Stadium, traditionally known as Lang Park, is the home of Rugby League in Queensland. A major $280 million redevelopment of the stadium was completed in June 2003 to convert it into a state-of-the-art all-seater stadium. The two year project saw the stadium closed for the duration with all but the main granstand demolished, which was incorporated into the new design.

hello
heading to suncorp for first time ever to watch socceroos v s korea. I will be getting off at roma st station (travelling from the gold coast line).
from what I can see on google maps, its about a 1.3km walk from roma st to stadium - distance no worries, but is it an easy walk? not being familiar with the area (never been there) there looks to be busways and freeways etc, and a few options (on map at least) to get there.

any suggestions? just follow the masses? I assume there will be masses....

I always get off at Milton, next station up, drops you 200m away from the stadium and there will be masses of people it's one of the most popular for game day

Hey man, getting off at Roma Street won't be an issue. For the bigger games, of which I assume the Socceroos game can be included, they close off a route from Roma Street Station all the way to the stadium. You can get off at Roma Street, exit the ticketing gates, and there will be a crowd walking from there to the stadium. The walkway is an easy walk and will lead you to the Caxton Street end, so if you want a few beers beforehand you're in luck!

tl;dr easy walk, no worries
 
Went to Brisbane for the first time over the weekend, and while I ended up going with the partner to the ballet instead of the Asian Cup I have to say games at Suncorp really screw up an already muddled mess of a city with road closures. If I was at the game I would boast about its location being so close to the city but my God the people who thought it was a good place for a 50 000 seat stadium must have total disdain for transport.

How was the ballet? I've never been to Suncorp but what's the public transport access to the ground like? How close are the nearest trains or buses??
