Yeah I think FIFA require a minimum capacity of 60000 don't they? And 80000 for a semifinal venue?
I do vaguely remember at the time the stadium was being constructed that they built it with potential to add another tier and increase capacity to 60000+, but don't quote me on that.
In any case, if they can't upgrade it to suit FIFA and Suncorp Stadium misses out on hosting world cup games, the blame should go squarely at the feet of the Queensland Government at the time that foolishly decided to upgrade Lang Park despite its tiny land area and being bound between major road infrastructure.
