First visit to Suncorp Stadium

I remember I began watching rugby league as a kid in the late 80's. I remember watching the state of origin on TV when the game was played at Lang Park (which is in Brisbane, Australia) which was the home of the Queenslanders. In the late 90's Lang Park was redeveloped to become what is now known as Suncorp Stadium. It currently can fit just over 52,000 seats. Its massive. It has so many amenities but i just couldnt list them all. I think the obvious ones to point out are that it also has around 25 food and beverage outlets, around 34 bars and 5 ATMs.

We (my colleagues from Griffith course) got to watch rugby union match. It was a test match between the Argentina Pumas and the Australian Wallabies. It was Will Genia's last game and he played well. We all cheered whenever he did something great on the field. Here is the story Wallabies beat Argentina 16-10 in Rugby Championship Test in Brisbane

After the game we all meet in before we make our way out

Myself, Gigil and Irene meet up. HM UP!

I, off course, wasn't too interested in the game as I think i was overawed by the place itself. It was huge and the noise was intense. There were over 30,000 people and I could see people behaved themselves but those who were a bit cheeky had the security come take them out of their seat. I guess the match was not too great at times because we had to do the mexican wave which was too fun to take part in and see the wave swell as it moved through the rows of the stadium.
It was my first visit to a stadium in Australia and it was great fun.
