An independent review committee has recommended Brisbane Olympics organizers build a new stadium on a greenfield site and scrap plans to demolish and redevelop a century-old cricket ground as the centerpiece for 2032. Brisbane’s former mayor Graham Quirk led a two-month review which handed its findings to the Queensland state government on Monday.

FILE - Spectators make their way home after play had been suspended due to heavy rain during the second day of the first cricket test match between Australia and South Africa at the Gabba stadium in Brisbane , Australia, on Nov. 10, 2012. Brisbane Olympics organizers have been advised to consider building a new stadium on a greenfield site near the city’s downtown and scrap plans to demolish and rebuild a century-old cricket stadium as the centerpiece for the 2032 Games.

“If a full Gabba rebuild was to occur, you still don’t end up with a top-level tier one stadium because of the fact that it’s very limited by space, and for that reason, that’s where we landed on Victoria Park,” he told ABC radio on Monday. “This is about building what is needed, and a legacy for the people of Queensland.”

He’s proposed the opening ceremony be held at 52,000-seat Suncorp Stadium, formerly known as Lang Park, and track and field at the 48,000-capacity Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre, the venue for the 1982 Commonwealth Games.
