The Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre, formerly ANZ Stadium (and also known as the QEII Stadium, likely due to its close proximity to Queen Elizabeth II Hospita) is an athletics stadium located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia; the former home of the Brisbane Broncos rugby league team. The stadium currently has a capacity of 48,400 people, although the record crowd is 58,912, set during the Super League Grand Final, Brisbane v Cronulla, in 1997.

In addition, the stadium has hosted a number of events including:

* 1982 Commonwealth Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and track and field events

* 2001 Goodwill Games

* State of Origin games

The stadium is now mostly retired, although school sporting events are occasionally held on the athletics track. The stadium has also permitted students of the neighboring Griffith University (Nathan campus) to use its expansive carpark, free of charge. This is due to the relatively low availability of parking as well as the cost of parking on the campus (there is no free parking). Students who don't mind the ten minute walk from the stadium take advantage of the stadium's large carpark.
