First look inside the Brisbane Stadium

Design work on the new Brisbane Stadium is forging ahead with three big decisions now locked in including field size, field orientation and location for the stadium within Victoria Park.

Development of the concept design for the Stadium, which will host the opening and closing ceremonies and athletics at the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games before becoming the city’s main stadium after the Games, will continue over coming months but some key aspects have already been agreed upon including:

• The stadium’s location in Victoria Park – a central position near Gilchrist Avenue that maximises access to public transport and nestles the stadium in a naturally occurring amphitheatre.
• The field of play size and shape – to be the equivalent of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), supported by AFL, Cricket Australia, concert promotors and Brisbane 2032.
• Field orientation – east–west configuration after analysis of sun position, winds and legacy operational needs for AFL and cricket.

The Stadium concept design continues to build upon the winning “Queensland response” that embeds the new Stadium into Victoria Park’s topography with a verandah inspiration, and floating roof form.
