Known as Carrara Stadium, Metricon Stadium and now People First Stadium through successive naming-rights deals, this Gold Coast venue has been home to the Suns since the club's inaugural AFL season in 2011.

History

Originally the Gold Coast Stadium opened in 1987 as the home of the Brisbane Bears during their Gold Coast era (1987–1993). The ground was substantially redeveloped ahead of Gold Coast's AFL entry in 2011, with new stands and facilities bringing capacity to around 25,000. Further upgrades for the 2018 Commonwealth Games improved hospitality and broadcast infrastructure.
