'''Robina Stadium''', commercially known as '''Cbus Super Stadium''', is a multi-purpose rectangular stadium in [[Robina, Queensland|Robina]], a suburb of [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], [[Queensland]]. It is the home ground to the [[National Rugby League]]'s [[Gold Coast Titans]], this venue sometimes hosts the [[A-League]] team [[Brisbane Roar FC]].

Robina Stadium is also used for [[rugby union]], [[association football]], [[rugby sevens]], [[rugby league]] Test Matches and has hosted [[Rugby League World Cup]] matches.

Construction of the venue started in 2006, and finished in February 2008, in time for the [[2008 National Rugby League season]], when it became the new home of the Titans.

The venue will be used for the [[2032 Summer Olympics]] and will host preliminary Football.

==Stadium==
Robina Stadium is located in the satellite growth suburb of Robina, next to [[Robina railway station, Queensland|Robina railway station]]. The stadium is effectively a smaller version of [[Lang Park|Suncorp Stadium]] in [[Brisbane]], and was designed by the same company. The project was funded by the [[Government of Queensland|Queensland Government]]. On 27 September 2006, it was announced that the new ground would be renamed Skilled Park after [[Skilled Group]] won the naming rights to the stadium. The land for the site was purchased by the Gold Coast City Council and gifted to the Queensland Government to build the Stadium.

Sports Minister [[Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly, 2006-2009|Judy Spence]] announced that the new stadium will now be able to seat 27,400 people instead of 25,000. This came after workers on the site found extra space for about 2,400 seats across the stadium while construction was in progress.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://leagueheaven.b1.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=1029&st=0&#entry5461 |title=Jcink.com Forum Hosting |website=Leagueheaven.b1.jcink.com |access-date=2016-11-13}}</ref>

The second, a semi-final qualifier, saw a [[Jarryd Hayne]]-led [[Fiji Bati|Fiji]] defeat [[Ireland national rugby league team|Ireland]] 30–14. The ground also became host to the newly created [[A-League]] side, [[Gold Coast United FC|Gold Coast United]], starting in [[A-League 2009-10|2009–10]].

The ground first saw finals football when the Titans, in their first finals appearance, hosted the [[Brisbane Broncos]] in the first week of the [[2009 NRL season]] play-offs.
