Roar chairman Chris Fong says there needs to be a plan for a second rectangular stadium in Brisbane.

While he didn't want to bite the hand that feeds the side, Fong said there was clearly a demand in the city for a smaller, boutique stadium.

The Suncorp Stadium pitch came under fire during January's Asian Cup for the quality of the surface, which was transitioning from summer to winter grass.

The Roar has been attracting small crowds to recent matches, partly attributable to scheduling, with their highest home crowd 17,131 against Melbourne City.
