Ormondroyd : “The drainage at Brisbane stadiums is always amazing to me as a recentish arrival here. We’ve turned up at Lang Park for soccer to be confronted with a rectangular lake. In the time it takes to buy a pie and a beer, the water vanishes. The Gabba is just the same, it seems.” Lang Park is Suncorp Stadium for those who don’t know, Brisbane’s rectangular sports stadium that hosts football (soccer) and both rugby codes. It literally was a lake in the 2010-11 Queensland floods. But yes, Queensland sporting grounds have world class drainage with good reason.
