Built in 1863, the MCG is among the greatest sporting arenas in the world, but for history, pure drama and emotion, it’s hard to look past the MCG. Check-in here to see the best sporting events.
Carlton FCMay 4, 2011Blues Fact: 121,696 crammed the MCG for the 1970 Grand Final - the biggest crowd in VFL/AFL history. Carlton defeated Collingwood by 10 points after coming from 44 points down at half-time.
My favorite stadium in Melbourne. Went to two cricket matches on my trip. Second level has some nice indoor bars to visit behind the seats when you want a break and a drink.

John PaterakisJanuary 5, 2015A classic sports venue, hosting a variety of events. The sort of place where attending a football or cricket match is a pilgrimage, not just viewing a game.
Ann WSeptember 27, 2018If you love sports, this is the place to be. Watch a game of footy if you are in Melbourne during winter.
Chloe TiaraJune 8, 2016Do make sure to put on something warm; it gets quite chilly later in the night. Grab some pies or chips along with a warm drink to avoid getting too cold.
Kathy N.May 11, 2013If You have a sweet tooth, head to the crepe truck close to the Members/corporate suites entrance and indulge yourself with banana & Nutella yum sweetness!

Melbourne Cricket GroundOctober 4, 2011A stadium tour at the MCG is an unforgettable experience. No need to book, just head to Gate 3 between 10am and 3pm on days when events are not being held at the venue and go behind the scenes...- Anna MilneJanuary 25, 2016Parking has been a bit of an issue recently, also security gates due to staffing issues. Get in early to avoid the crowds.
