One of largest stadiums outside Brisbane now on Rockhampton Campus 

Published on 19 August, 2011 

CQUniversity Vice-Chancellor Scott Bowman this week viewed the operation of new telescopic seating which should establish the Community Sports Centre on Rockhampton Campus as one of the largest multi-use stadiums outside Brisbane.

While the September graduation ceremony is already scheduled, it's expected the venue will also become popular for major regional sporting, cultural and musical events able to attract between 2000-3000 patrons.

Around 2000 of the new seats are fully retractable, thanks to a mechanised system that takes only a minute to operate, and hundreds of extra seats can be included at floor level, depending on the nature of the event.
