Talk is growing louder up north that Brisbane Roar are getting serious about plans for a new boutique home ground - and this column believes there are a number of locations being explored.
The most intriguing and inventive option is in Chandler, a suburb 14km south-east of the Brisbane CBD. There are two velodromes at the Sleeman Sports Complex - the new indoor one, named for Anna Meares, and the old outdoor one, which sources in Queensland say could be successfully converted into a football stadium.
But there are several other possibilities, all of them still on the table. One is near the Brisbane Airport, where the prospect of a new stadium has been discussed for years.
Another is in Victoria Park, just north of the city, where a golf course is set to be transformed into a 45-hectare green space.
And another is in the Logan-Beenleigh corridor, where the Roar have strong political connections.
The Roar refused to comment, but there are a perfect storm of circumstances that could see the long-held dream of an alternative to the 55,000-seat Suncorp Stadium finally come true through a public/private partnership.
The first is the pending Queensland state election. The second is Brisbane's bid to host the 2032 Olympics. The third is FFA's bid to host the 2023 Women's World Cup - which, if successful, could put Suncorp off-limits to the other codes for several weeks.
Football Queensland have made a boutique stadium a strategic priority for the game, while new FFA chief executive James Johnson is a Brisbane boy, and fully understands the lay of the land. Watch this space.
