[edit] Site of the original Lang Park ground
I am reverting the last change as reads as if there has been a change of location. There has not.--dan, dan and dan 01:55, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Much of this mythology centred around the Queensland State of Origin Team who played home games at the stadium until 2001.
This statement makes it sound like the Maroons no longer play matches at the ground, should I correct it? --195.171.131.151 13:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)Lucas
[edit] Wally's statue
There's mention of the song about wally lewis as the emperor of lang park, but is there a mention of his statue? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 159.53.78.141 (talk) 23:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Name Change
When exactly did it become known as Suncorp Stadium and why? Perhaps some information on the important aspect of the stadium's name? Might be worth including I think.--Jeff79 08:14, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Lang Park became Suncorp Stadium in 1994 (i dont know exact date), the reason it became this name because of it being sponsored by a company known as Suncorp, for more information see this link. SpecialWindler 10:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- To confuse the story, in c. 1999 it became Suncorp-Metway Stadium due to Suncorp merging with Metropolitan Permanent, before becoming just Suncorp once more.--dan, dan and dan 12:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

- In fact to get the dates for that last name change I mentioned, look no further than Suncorp-Metway, where it says: "The company was branded as 'Suncorp Metway' in May 1999 to reflect the merger, and to maintain goodwill and minimise the risk of losing Metway Bank customers fearing their bank had disappeared. On July 1, 2002 the company changed its name to just 'Suncorp'. Although in business aspects they are known as Suncorp, some people today still call the company "Suncorp Metway"; the registered name of the company is still Suncorp-Metway Limited.". I am feeling old that I remember it as being Metropolitan Permanent Building Society, and not Metway Bank! --dan, dan and dan 12:43, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Inserted a mention in the history section.--Jeff79 19:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Title change
Just a note here that the article name has been changed after consensus was reached at Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board/Archive_28#Stadium_naming and Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board#Stadium_naming_pt_2. Please see those discussions for full rationale. -- Chuq (talk) 00:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
