I’ve been to plenty of games at Suncorp Stadium or Lang Park over the years and had to find a car park in the Brisbane CBD many a time, so I have checked out the car park I used last time which had the best pricing in the city to see if it is also the best State of Origin car park as well and from what I can tell, it is still the best rates in town for parking.

The reason for doing this is that most, not all of the car parking in Brisbane is cheaper only on the weekends and as the State of Origin games are mid week on a Wednesday this means the rules have changed for how much you pay.

So this morning Queenslanders everywhere will be waking up in anticipation for a game of Rugby League to kick off the State of Origin series, this game and series means more to most people than a whole season of Rugby League put together.
