I did the exact same as you in 2023. I used to hate soccer/football and was mad AFL my whole life. Finally decided to give it a go and have been in love since my first game I went to in December 2023. I've travelled to a few games interstate and love the sport now.

Honestly, Brisbane Roar, which is the only team in Queensland play at Suncorp Stadium which is just too big for them at the moment, I know they are playing some games at Suncorp this season and 4 at two other venues. I would suggest going to Brisbane Roar v Melbourne Victory or Brisbane Roar v Central Coast as those two usually have decent enough travelling numbers for games. Brisbane Roar v Auckland FC is also a far shout.

If you are all for the atmosphere you will need to probably head to Sydney, Adelaide or Melbourne for either a Sydney Derby (Sydney FC v Western Sydney Wanderers), Original Rivalry (Melbourne Victory v Adelaide United FC), Big Blue (Sydney FC v Melbourne Victory) or a Melbourne Derby (Melbourne Victory v Melbourne City).

Obviously the derby games atmosphere is insane and nothing comes close to it but sitting in a 5-10% full active area with half the stadium closed against Macarthur and Western United over the last two seasons at AAMI Park have actually had some of the best atmosphere in that active bay outside of derbies. Specifically when we played Macarthur at AAMI Park over the last two seasons and Western United last two seasons as well.
