Robina Stadium, commercially referred to as Cbus Super Stadium, is a versatile rectangular venue situated in Robina, a suburb within the Gold Coast region of Queensland. It functions as the primary home ground for the National Rugby League franchise, the Gold Coast Titans, while also occasionally accommodating the A-League team Brisbane Roar FC.

Beyond rugby league, the stadium hosts events in rugby union, association football, rugby sevens, and international rugby league Test Matches, including fixtures during the Rugby League World Cup.

Construction commenced in 2006 and reached completion by February 2008, coinciding with the commencement of the 2008 National Rugby League season when it officially became the Titans' base.

The venue is slated to serve as a site for preliminary football matches during the upcoming 2032 Summer Olympics.

Stadium

Positioned in the expanding suburb of Robina near Robina railway station, Robina Stadium is a scaled-down counterpart to Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, crafted by the same architectural firm. The project was funded by the Queensland Government, with the land initially acquired by Gold Coast City Council and subsequently donated to the state government for development purposes. On 27 September 2006, following a naming rights agreement with Skilled Group, the stadium was rebranded as Skilled Park.

Queensland Sports Minister Judy Spence revealed an increase in seating capacity from 25,000 to 27,400 after additional space was identified during construction.

During the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, Robina Stadium hosted two matches, including a semi-final qualifying game. It became home to A-League club Gold Coast United for the 2009–10 season. The stadium also witnessed its inaugural NRL finals when the Titans faced off against the Brisbane Broncos in 2009, followed by another finals match in 2010 where they triumphed over the New Zealand Warriors.

Starting November 2011, it became the venue for the annual Gold Coast Sevens, part of the IRB Sevens World Series, after relocating from Adelaide upon conclusion of their hosting agreement.

A memorable event occurred in Round 4 of the 2014 NRL season when a three-foot brown snake appeared on-field during a match between the Titans and North Queensland Cowboys, briefly halting play but resulting in no injuries.

In 2015, Robina Stadium hosted international soccer activities including training sessions for the United Arab Emirates team ahead of the Asian Cup, as well as three Brisbane Roar matches within the Asian Champions League.

In 2021, due to COVID-19 disruptions in Sydney, Game 3 of the 2021 State of Origin series was relocated twice before being held at Robina Stadium.

The venue’s entertainment portfolio includes American rock group Kiss performing on 10 September 2022 during their End of the Road World Tour, alongside Monster Jam’s inaugural shows staged in October 2023.

Looking forward, September 2024 will see Robina Stadium host a FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifying match featuring Australia against Bahrain before an audience of 24,664. In December that year, it will also stage an international friendly between the Matildas and Brazil with an expected attendance of 25,297 spectators.
