Melbourne Cricket Ground is so Much More Than a Stadium

“Its going for a six!” For over a century and a half, these words have been shouted in excitement by the crowds that fill Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It’s no secret that the Aussies love their cricket, and what better way to celebrate the sport than to build a cricket ground that can stand the test of time. In 1854, that is exactly what they did.

Nowadays, this mixed-use stadium not only holds major sporting events, but also music concerts and cultural events. With a capacity of just over 100.000, it’s easy to see why MCG is a landmark overlooking Melbourne’s Central Business District (CBD).
