Suncorp Stadium, also known as Lang Park, is Brisbane’s 52,500-seat stadium at Milton, about 1.4 km from the CBD. It hosts NRL, Super Rugby, A-League and international matches, State of Origin and big concerts, and is a short walk from a train station.
If you are going to a match or show, the main things to plan are how you get there, what you can bring in and where you will sit. This guide covers all three, plus the stadium tours, which are paused for now.
Who plays at Suncorp Stadium
The Brisbane Broncos and the Dolphins play NRL here. The Queensland Reds (Super Rugby) and Brisbane Roar (A-League Men) also play here, and State of Origin and national rugby league, rugby union and football teams play selected matches. The stadium also hosts major concerts. Event listings are on the Suncorp Stadium website.
The site was fenced off as Lang Park in 1914. The stadium was heavily rebuilt in the early 2000s into the all-seater it is today, and it hosted eight matches at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. It is planned for Olympic rugby sevens and the football final in 2032.
Statues outside the stadium
You can see them without a ticket. Statues of rugby league players Wally Lewis, Darren Lockyer, Mal Meninga, Arthur Beetson and Allan Langer stand outside, along with John Eales for rugby union and the 2023 Matildas World Cup team. The tour meets at the Wally Lewis statue near the Caxton Street end.
Stadium tours
Stadium tours are paused: none run until after 7 March 2027, so do not plan a tour before then. Check the tours page for the restart.
Once they restart, tours run Monday to Friday, between about 9 am and 2.45 pm depending on the event schedule. They do not run on weekends or on event days. A tour lasts 1.5 to 2 hours and covers the dressing rooms, the sidelines, members’ areas, the media rooms and the coaches box, with stadium history and facts.
Tours are priced per group: $150 for 1 to 10 people, $175 for 11 to 15, $200 for 16 to 20, $250 for 21 to 25, $500 for 26 to 50 and $750 for 51 to 75. The tours page has a booking form and asks for at least two weeks’ notice. Pay before the day. Arrive 15 minutes early at the Wally Lewis statue. Cancel 7 or more days ahead for a full refund. The route can use lifts and escalators instead of stairs.
Getting to Suncorp Stadium
Train
Milton station is about 700 m from the stadium and Roma Street station is about 1 km. Extra train services run on all lines after matches.
Free public transport with your ticket
On event days your ticket gives you free travel on Queensland Rail City Network trains (not Airtrain) and Transport for Brisbane buses, from 4 hours before the main game kick-off until 4 hours after the game ends. Show your ticket to rail and bus staff as you board. Ferries are not included.
Shuttle buses
Event shuttles run direct to the stadium from the City, Carindale, Eight Mile Plains and Mt Gravatt (Garden City), Chermside and The Gap. They run at regular intervals for 2 hours before the event, and after the game high-frequency services run for an hour. Check the event page on Translink or call 13 12 30, as trackworks and diversions can change things.
Taxis and rideshare
The taxi rank is outside Sports House on Castlemaine Street, near Caxton Street. A taxi drop-off and pick-up zone for passengers with a disability is on the Northern Plaza off Caxton Street. The stadium sets rideshare pick-up zones for after events, with locations on its website.
Bike racks are on the North Plaza near the PCYC entrance and on the South Plaza at the top of the south-west stairs.

The stadium does not recommend driving on event days. Strict rules and penalties apply in the Lang Park Traffic Area, which covers a radius of roughly 1.5 km around the stadium. Streets there generally have 15-minute limits from two hours before gates open until after the event, unless signed otherwise. Some time-regulated spots near businesses and restaurants allow longer stays.
