Message: [QUOTE="Bull Shark, post: 2503285, member: 7690"] Story about it here - [URL="http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/maroons-origin-fears-for-suncorp-stadium-surface-following-wallabies-lions-test/story-fniablkr-1226668404976"]No Cookies | The Courier-Mail[/URL] This has been a problem ever since the ground's 're-birth' in 2003 (?) ... The playing surface seems to be permanently boggy and slimy during the middle months of the RL season .. and this year in particular its seems apparent that there is either a drainage problem or an issue with the soil being used because the ground just hasn't dried out at all from the rain we've had over the past couple of weeks .. I remember hearing in the early days of the (new) ground that sunlight was an issue - as in not enough getting on the grass because of the cavernous structure of the stands .. Regardless, it just seems ridiculous that Queensland's premier RL ground looks like something from the middle of an English winter .. especially given how great the surface always was right up until the ground had its renovation a decade ago ..
