Perspective
Robina Stadium is located in the satellite growth suburb of Robina, next to Robina railway station. The stadium is effectively a smaller version of Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, and was designed by the same company. The project was funded by the Queensland Government. On 27 September 2006, it was announced that the new ground would be renamed Skilled Park after Skilled Group won the naming rights to the stadium. The land for the site was purchased by the Gold Coast City Council and gifted to the Queensland Government to build the Stadium.
Sports Minister Judy Spence announced that the new stadium will now be able to seat 27,400 people instead of 25,000. This came after workers on the site found extra space for about 2,400 seats across the stadium while construction was in progress.[2]
Robina Stadium hosted two matches in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, which was held in Australia. The first saw eventual tournament champions New Zealand defeat Papua New Guinea 48–6. The second, a semi-final qualifier, saw a Jarryd Hayne-led Fiji defeat Ireland 30–14. The ground also became host to the newly created A-League side, Gold Coast United, starting in 2009–10.
The ground first saw finals football when the Titans, in their first finals appearance, hosted the Brisbane Broncos in the first week of the 2009 NRL season play-offs. This ground also witnessed finals when the Gold Coast Titans defeated the New Zealand Warriors 28–16 in the 2010 finals.
Beginning in November 2011, the stadium hosted the Gold Coast Sevens, the first event in the annual IRB Sevens World Series of rugby sevens. The country's leg of the series had previously been staged in Adelaide in early autumn (March/April) at the Adelaide Oval, but was put up for bidding upon the expiry of Adelaide's hosting contract.[3][4]
In Round 4 of the 2014 NRL season, a 3-foot brown snake invaded the stadium, now known as Cbus Super Stadium, during a match between the Titans and Queensland rivals the North Queensland Cowboys. No one was injured, with the snake remaining in the southeast corner until midway through the game.[5][6][7]
In 2015, the venue hosted the United Arab Emirates Football team as they prepared for the Asian Cup and it also hosted three Brisbane Roar Asian Champions League fixtures in February, March and May.[8][9][10][11]
The Stadium hosted Game 3 of the 2021 State of Origin series, originally scheduled to be played at Stadium Australia in Sydney. But due to a COVID-19 outbreak in Sydney at the time, The Game was moved to McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle before being moved a second time to Robina Stadium.
American rock band Kiss performed at the stadium during their End of the Road World Tour on 10 September 2022.
Monster Jam made its debut at the stadium on 21 October 2023 for 2 shows.[12]
In September 2024, the stadium will hosted a FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier, with Australia hosting Bahrain in front of 24,664.[13][14] In December 2024, the Matildas played a friendly against Brazil in front of 25,297.[15]
