Accommodation
- The Suncorp Stadium is at Milton - just outside the Brisbane CBD. See our
CBD map for hotels in the city. Please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. You can travel by train and/or bus to the stadium so City, South Brisbane and West End hotels will all be convenient. There is a new pedestrian walkway from Milton Railway Station to the stadium. Milton is the first stop on the Ipswich line after Roma Street Station and the Transit Centre.
- Backpackers hostels offer the cheapest accommodation per person - but if there is a small group of you
check
Wotif.com for hotel and motel rooms which are charged
per room.
Transport
Parking is very limited in the area and public transport is highly recommended. See the links below for timetables etc.
- TransInfo check this site for details of South East Explorer for unlimited, all day travel on train, participating bus and ferry travel in South East Queensland between Coolangatta and Noosa and west to Helidon. The Journey planner
is useful if you want to know how to get from one address to another and the
cost of fares.

- The Airtrain service from the Airport joins the Citytrain network
