Now I have written about this before, I have been to a lot of games before with my old job role and now in my new sales role we have just started to go to games at Suncorp, I thought I had already found the best car park for Suncorp Stadium no matter what game is on, but I was wrong or just hadn’t parked there until now in the evening.

I had tickets to go and see the Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney City Roosters game last week, so I was back on Google again to look for car parking in Brisbane city as I can remember last time leaving a bit late and parking in the Brisbane Transit Centre, which was pretty empty and I found out why at the end of the night, as the price was very high for the convenience.

I wrote about pre booking a different car park in the city for next time and also about trying a few different car parks if I had the time and was going to many games.

Also a few times before this I had been given a ticket for parking in the no parking zone that is on game day, this hurt the back pocket a little and was also bad at the time as they had just changed the zones and increased the no parking area, which I’m sure would’ve and still will be a nice earner for the city council.

Well this time, I had the time to work it out and also to get to the game I plenty of time if I did have to park a little further away.

I tell you, I found the perfect car park for Suncorp Stadium.

It’s cheap and it only takes about five to ten minutes more walking to the bus pick up area too which takes you through straight to the stadium.

Now anyone who has been here before knows that I have been following the Costco in Brisbane construction and I can say after getting an email from Costco during the week that Costco in Brisbane is definitely getting closer to them announcing a grand opening date and also getting closer for construction completion too.

I received an email from the Costco team on the 21st of March which first thanks me for being interested in the new store and then also lets me know the warehouse and fuel station are almost complete, the fresh dept is next on the construction list and that they are hoping to be able to move stock into the new Costco by the end of April.

The big news on this email is that they hope to announce the opening date of the Costco North Lakes in the coming weeks.

I’d say they will have to see that they are definitely on track for completion and it is all going to schedule in regards to construction before they announce the opening date.

With the rain that is coming for the rest of the week here in Brisbane I’d say they will be happy they got the roof on their buildings and also that, as you can see in the pictures below that they have had a lot of the earth moving done as the water will be able to run away, it might be a great time to check for roof leaks too.
