Lang Park Set for Biggest Upgrade in 23 Years

Lang Park, also known as Suncorp Stadium, is poised for its most significant renovation in over two decades, as announced by the LNP government. The planned upgrades aim to modernize the iconic Brisbane venue and enhance the experience for fans attending sporting events and concerts.

Lang Park belongs to Queenslanders. We're giving it the love it deserves so it's up to scratch for a growing state.

The extensive renovation project, funded by the Queensland government's Legacy Fund, will introduce several new features. These include supersized scoreboards, a 360-degree wraparound LED ribbon board suspended from the roof, and two large media mesh screens. The stadium's capacity will also be increased, with new terraced areas behind the goals and expanded entertainment zones featuring standing areas within the seating bowl and concourse.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli emphasized the stadium's importance to the state, stating, "Lang Park belongs to Queenslanders." He added that the upgrades are intended "so it's up to scratch for a growing state." The enhancements aim to ensure the venue remains a premier destination for major events, including the upcoming Rugby World Cup in 2027, as well as concerts by global artists.

Stadiums Queensland CEO Todd Harris noted that the investment is crucial for maintaining the venue's competitiveness in hosting major international events. "This will further enhance the venue's ability to host the world's biggest events," Harris said. Brisbane Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy welcomed the announcement, emphasizing the need for a world-class game-day experience for fans and athletes, ensuring Suncorp Stadium continues to provide amazing experiences for future generations.

This will further enhance the venue's ability to host the world's biggest events, and we are pleased to be working with the Queensland government and other partners to deliver these works, as part of investment in the Stadiums Queensland portfolio.

The LNP government had previously approved a temporary increase in the number of concerts allowed at the stadium, from 12 to 21 per year. Design work for the upgrades has commenced, with construction anticipated to begin following the completion of design and the tendering process.
