The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is Australia's largest, oldest and most popular sporting venue. The MCG has hosted plenty of international cricket, including the first-ever Test and the 1992 World Cup final, countless VFL/AFL Grand Finals, the 1956 Olympic Games and 2006 Commonwealth Games. It also hosted the final of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Other sporting spectacles include FIFA World Cup soccer qualifiers, rugby league home and away matches and State of Origin and international rugby union clashes. Apart from its sporting events, the MCG has also witnessed many blockbuster music concerts, and even Pope John Paul II held a mass there when he visited Melbourne in 1986. The MCG has a total capacity of 100,024 people, comprising 95,024 seats and 5000 standing room spaces. The stadium also houses the National Sports Museum, which includes some of the most priceless pieces of memorabilia in Australian sporting history.
If you even have a passing interest in sport and you have the chance to visit the MCG for a large AFL match or cricket encounter you should take the opportunity to tick something off the bucket list of experiences - the ground regularly has over 80,000 loud (but well-behaved) fans watching over the huge pitch (4x a normal rugby or soccer pitch) supported by two of the largest HD screens in the world. The atmosphere is incomparable - at times the noise in the stands has been measured at levels approaching a commercial airliner!!!! Visitor or Melbournian - you just have to go to believe it!!!

How long does it take to close the roof? How do AFL players prepare for a match? Enter the inner sanctum of this impressive stadium and learn the answers to these questions and more.
A great venue to watch most sports (a little to far away for soccer) and very easy to access from Southern Cross train station just a short walk away

Visiting the Australian Open (tennis) these grounds are amongst the best in the world. Seating on Rod Laver Arena is good - padded seats, good views from everywhere. Margaret Court Arena is small and intimate with fabulous views, though the plastic bucket seats are a bit hard! Melbourne Arena offers excellent views, especially considering you can get seats there using the superb value ground passes. Food provision is adequate and quite tasty, a bit over the top price wise but entirely manageable. Highly recommend a visit.

The stadium has undergone a huge amount of work recently to get it to an AFL standard which has been excellent to see. The future direction is looking fantastic. It will be good to get more games here and have better access through planned parking and rail access. Currently, the stadium is clean, tidy and has great amenities.
