Why is Suncorp Stadium called "The Cauldron"?

Suncorp Stadium earned the nickname "The Cauldron" due to its intimidating atmosphere. The rectangular design places fans close to the action, and the fully-roofed structure traps noise, creating one of the loudest venues in world rugby. Queensland Reds and Wallabies teams have an exceptional home record at Suncorp, and visiting international teams consistently rate it as one of the most challenging places to play. The stadium's 52,500 capacity generates an intensity that rivals much larger venues.

How do I get from Brisbane Airport to Suncorp Stadium?

The easiest option is the Airtrain from the airport to Roma Street Station (20 minutes), then either walk 15 minutes to Suncorp or take a quick bus/taxi (total journey: 30-40 minutes, approximately $20). Alternatively, a taxi or Uber will take 20-30 minutes depending on traffic and cost $45-60. On match days, public transport is highly recommended as traffic congestion around Suncorp can be heavy.

Expect to see tier-one nations like New Zealand, South Africa, England, Ireland, and France. The 2 Quarter-Finals will feature the top 8 teams remaining in the tournament.

Where is the best place to stay in Brisbane for RWC 2027 matches?

For convenience, stay in Brisbane CBD which offers the best combination of accommodation options, dining, nightlife, and easy transport to Suncorp Stadium (2km away). The Milton/Paddington area is walking distance to the stadium but has fewer hotel options. South Bank offers cultural attractions and is well-connected by public transport. Book early as Brisbane accommodation will be in high demand, especially during Quarter-Final weekend.

Absolutely! The Gold Coast is only 1 hour south of Brisbane by car or train. You can easily visit famous beaches like Surfers Paradise, Burleigh Heads, or Coolangatta as a day trip. However, check the RWC 2027 schedule carefully - if matches are scheduled in both Brisbane and other cities on the same day, plan your travel accordingly. Many fans choose to base themselves on the Gold Coast and travel to Brisbane for matches, enjoying beach time between games.
