If this does not go ahead - they will have to cancel the olympics lol - there just isn't the time to redo the Gabba or build elsewhere.

Yeah. They'll probably push it through Fred. Could get ugly though along the way.

I remember the Albert Park protesters - were there for years and years - maybe still are??? Made no difference.

New stadium will be amazing for footy in QLD. Biggest stadium in QLD.

New era for Victoria Park begins for 2032 and beyond

The Premier and Deputy Premier joined Olympians and Paralympians, AFL and cricket champions and the next generation of Queensland’s sports stars and super fans to mark the major milestone.

Brisbane Lions Chief Executive Officer Sam Graham said the team was working closely with GIICA and other stakeholders to create a venue that all Queenslanders will be proud of.
“We’re really pleased with the progress being made to date. As we have seen in other cities across the county, new stadiums are generational assets, they shape cities, economies and communities and this will be a venue that is welcoming and accessible to everyone, for decades to come,” Mr Graham said.

“From a Lions point of view, there’s more kids kicking a Sherrin around Queensland than ever before, we’re about to set a new club membership record and we’re looking forward to welcoming a new generation of sports fans to Victoria Park when we call it home from 2033.”

Footy in Qld??? That'd be Rugby League beatup. They've got a beauty of a stadium already pal. Or do you mean fumbling?? No doubt they'll be sniffing around the stadium like a dog on heat looking for every freebie they can get their stinky hands on. Some things never change.

Great to see the AFL kids out there today with the Premier and their shovels. Work has now officially begun on Queensland’s newest and biggest footy stadium.
