  Suncorp Stadium [Queensland Reds 2006]
The QRU and the Reds have the financial support of a new, long term major sponsor who is as committed to the game as we are, while the Reds and their fans will be able to enjoy Super 14 games in what is widely acknowledged as the best stadium for rugby in Australia.

Reds crowds have grown each of the last ten years and our own experience and the feedback we have been given by sponsors and spectators is that the Ballymore stadium can no longer meet their needs, he said.
