‘Huge operation’: Suncorp Stadium field replaced just days before Magic Round
Suncorp Stadium grounds staff have been working tirelessly to prepare the field for Magic Round.
The field was damaged last Friday night, when the Broncos played the Bulldogs, and in the following days, Suncorp Stadium also hosted the Queensland Reds and Brisbane Roar.
Suncorp Stadium Grounds Manager, Matt Oliver, told Bill McDonald on 4BC Mornings, “We’ve pulled out all the stops to get things ready for Women’s Origin and Magic Round.”
“We’re replacing just over 50% of the rugby league field, just over 3500m².”
“So it is a huge operation, and we are in such a short time frame.”
“There’s a lot of pressure and there’s just a lot of things we’ve got to get right, and we can’t really afford too many mistakes,” Mr Oliver continued.
