During the 2011 Queensland floods, the stadium pitch was submerged, necessitating a complete turf replacement.
The structure features a unique 'bowl' configuration designed to trap sound and intensify the crowd atmosphere.
It is the only stadium in Australia where the playing surface is located below the level of the surrounding streets.

Suncorp Stadium, also known as Brisbane Stadium, is a multi-purpose rectangular venue in Milton, Queensland. It serves as the primary home ground for the Brisbane Broncos (NRL), Queensland Reds (Super Rugby), and the Brisbane Roar (A-League). The facility features a steep-raked, 52,500-seat design that places spectators close to the field for improved sightlines. Its roof covers approximately 75% of the seating area. The stadium was built on the site of the former Lang Park, which historically served as a cemetery before being repurposed as a sports field in 1914. It frequently hosts major international rugby league and union matches, as well as large-scale global concert tours. The venue is engineered to minimize noise impact on the surrounding residential area of Milton.
