Magic Round Day 1 starts with two big Friday night matches at Suncorp Stadium, and The Transcontinental Hotel is the ideal Brisbane CBD base for drinks, dinner, live music and post-game energy.

Located opposite Roma Street Station and around a short 15-minute walk to Suncorp Stadium, The Trans gives you an easy way to move between the city, the stadium and the late-night session afterwards.

With Sharks v Bulldogs followed by Rabbitohs v Dolphins, this is a full Friday of footy that works even better with an early set before the gates and a late set once the night opens up.

Percy Robinson takes care of the early set, giving you a strong pre-game atmosphere before the first match and enough time to settle in for dinner before heading over to Suncorp Stadium.

Once the final siren sounds, Josh Betts carries the late set into the night, making The Trans the right place to return to after Magic Round Day 1.
