QUEENSLAND'S premier football venue, Suncorp Stadium, has been closed indefinitely due to flooding and a fire that broke out on Wednesday morning.

Ninety per cent of the ground was under water late on Wednesday morning and the stadium will no longer host Sunday's A-League clash between the Brisbane Roar and Wellington .

Smoke was streaming out of a second story vent where it is believed a generator lurks behind this morning.



Shortly after 10.30am a large explosion boomed from behind the vent, sending black plumes of smoke billowing into the air.



"There's been a secondary explosion from the vicinity of the substation," a fireman said over radio.

Brisbane Roar and Football Federation Australia officials were looking at alternative arrangements for the weekend's game with the ground no longer an option.

Due to the congested nature of the A-League schedule a month out from the play-offs, there is more chance the fixture will go ahead at a different venue than being postponed.

It's understood the main options include finding another Queensland venue to hold the match, moving it to Wellington or calling it off and splitting the points.
