Home to the North Queensland Cowboys, Queensland Country Bank Stadium is located in Townsville, Queensland.
The stadium’s standout feature is its horseshoe-shaped, cantilever roof, inspired by the tropical pandanus plant local to the area. The stadium roof has an elegant and modern design, shading about 75% of the seating and has generous overhangs over the concourse and main entrance to reduce heat while standing in line.
Doing away with Stadium lighting Queensland Country Bank Stadium has sports lighting integrated directly into the roof. On the 9-metre wide concourse, you can walk the full 600-metre circumference of the stadium without using stairs, enjoying uninterrupted views of the field.
