Any chance redcliffe gets upgraded to at least 20k?
privately owned so not unless reddy pay for it themselves, best case is they get some gov funding to chip in but its similar situation to sharkies/shark park. plus ideas seems to be for phins to be play out of suncorp so no point. gov would be better splashing cash on sunny coast field if theyre gonna upgrade something north of brissy i reckons.

Save the money and use it to build a boutique stadium in Ipswich instead. Make it 20k with provisions to go more should Ipswich get a future NRL team. I think that Roar and Reds would be better splitting their games between CBus for small match up games and Suncorp for larger ones.

Yeh I’d prefer that too but Football would be strongly against it if it’s instead of a central 20k venue you’d imagine. Would be good for an eventual Ipswich NRL team to have a 25k stadium with 3-4 QLD derby games at Suncorp.

Govts have spent money on privately owned stadiums before eg cronullla or eithad/marvel

If soccer wants a more boutique stadium to play out of kayo stadium is perfect especially as they’ve hosted seasons there before

Just had a quick look through FA/FQ proposal.

Their Perry Park plan would come at the expense of the Sunshine Coast & Cairns upgrades. Also mentions bringing the cost of Victoria Park down needing to be looked at and reverting back to a 45-50k venue post Olympics, both of which makes sense if they do go with Victoria Park.

I couldn’t help but notice their “averages” graph is wrong on a few things, the first thing that stuck out was they show Broncos attendances dropped in 2024. Despite all the effort that shows some poor attention to detail.
