Brisbane is one of the sporting capitals of Australia. The River City is home to some of the nation’s finest sporting teams and venues. The two biggest teams in town are of course the Brisbane Lions and the Brisbane Broncos. With both the 2024 AFL and NRL seasons coming to a close, time is running out to see both sides in action in their own backyard.
The Lions and Broncos backyard also happens to be our backyard and here at Brisbane Holiday Village we have a number of accommodation options for those attending either game and looking for a place to stay.
Brisbane Lions Final Home Game of 2024
After making last season’s AFL grand final, the Brisbane Lions have had another successful year in 2024. If they win their final home game of the season, they could finish in the top four. This game is not only the Brisbane Lions final game at home, but also their final game of the entire regular season. Luckily, regardless of what happens here, they will be playing finals footy and hopefully get another shot at the flag. Keep reading for details about the game, the Lion’s opponents, where the game will be held and more!
Opponents – Essendon
The Brisbane Lions will take on Essendon in their final home game of the 2024 AFL regular season. Also known as the Bombers, Essendon’s race is run and done this year, and they can’t make the finals, even if they win this game. That’s great news for the Brisbane Lions and their fans, as with only pride to play for, as opposed to a potential top four spot, the Lions should be well positioned to win this game and send everyone home happy.
Location – The Gabba
Arguably the most iconic sporting venue in the state, this game, like most Lion’s home games, will be played at the famous Gabba Stadium. The renowned venue which frequently hosts AFL, cricket matches and even the odd concert.
Situated in beautiful Woolloongabba, the iconic Gabba is only a convenient 15-minute drive from Brisbane Holiday Village’s Eight Miles Plains location.
Date – Saturday, August 24, 7:25pm AEST
A Saturday night at the Gabba? It doesn’t get much better! The ideal night out for the whole family. Just make sure to snap up your Brisbane Lions tickets while you can.
Brisbane Broncos Final Home Game of 2024
Just like the Brisbane Lions, the Brisbane Broncos featured in a grand final last year, just the NRL one. Unfortunately, also like the Lions, the Broncos had to settle for a runners-up medal. Unlike their cross-town counterparts however, the Broncos have failed to replicate their success this season and are in danger of missing out on the NRL finals. The silver lining here is that means all of their remaining games are must win matches, which will only add to the drama and atmosphere at the game. This one included! Keep reading for details about the game, who the Broncos will face, where the game will be held and more!
Opponents – Melbourne Storm
If this occasion couldn’t get any bigger, the Brisbane Broncos welcome old rivals the Melbourne Storm to town. Both these sides have played numerous classic matches against one another over the years, such as the 2006 grand final. The Storm are also currently top of the NRL ladder, so the Broncos will have to be at their best to secure victory.
Location – Suncorp Stadium
Formerly known as Lang Park, the Broncos will play this game where they play all their home fixtures – Suncorp Stadium. The stadium which can seat upwards of 50,000 spectators hosts NRL and State of Origin games and has held concerts by artists such as Paul McCartney, Coldplay and the Foo Fighters. Nestled in between the houses and restaurants of the inner-city suburb of Milton, Suncorp Stadium is also just a short drive from BHV’s Eight Miles Plain location.
Date – Thursday, September 5, 7:50pm AEST
If some Thursday night footy sounds like the perfect way to kick off Spring, then make sure to grab your Brisbane Broncos tickets now. Scheduled for the first week of September, welcome in the warmer months under the bright lights of Suncorp Stadium.
