Spencer Park (currently known as Imperial Corp Stadium[1]) is a football stadium located in the suburb of Newmarket, 4km north of the Brisbane CBD, Queensland, Australia. It is home to National Premier Leagues Queensland team Brisbane City FC.

The stadium, while officially holding 10,000,[2] seats only 3,000 under the grandstand, the Gino Merlo Stand.[3] The grandstand is mainly concrete steps with a small number of seats in the middle of the stand. There are also corporate boxes at the back of the grandstand.There are 4 entrances to the grandstand, 2 on each end and 2 in the middle, which are directly above the home and away changing room tunnels. The stadium entrances are controlled for some major events, where Brisbane City FC or Football Queensland typically charge for stadium entry at the gates, (e.g. $2 children, $5 adult, $10 family). There are also tables for seating outside the clubhouse.

At the clubhouse Brisbane City FC runs Wood-fired Pizza and Ribs events, where Italian foods are served cooked in two wood-fired pizza ovens built in 2023.[4]
