The Queensland Rugby League (QRL) has called for state government funding for a Suncorp Stadium upgrade to help keep up with NSW stadium projects.

QRL chairman Peter Betros has called on Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to provide funding for minor upgrades, so that the stadium can compete with rival NSW venues about to receive $1 billion in funding.

Mr Betros told 9NEWS that the 52,500-seat Brisbane stadium was “coming last” in the technology race, and needed funding for WiFi and replay screens.

His request for funding follows NSW Premier Mike Baird’s unveiling of a $1 billion stadiums plan yesterday, which promises a 30,000-seat venue for Parramatta’s Pirtek Stadium site.

The NSW Government plan also features a 55,000-seat venue to replace Allianz Stadium, an indoor arena near the CBD, and a new outer-western Sydney venue.

Mr Baird has called for the NRL to guarantee major games for Sydney, in order to justify the funding.

Suncorp Stadium, formerly Lang Park, underwent a $280 million redevelopment between 2001 and 2003.
