No.5 of Best Things to Do in East Melbourne
More than 100,000 spectators can gather at Australia's largest stadium to see the gentlemen's game. People have been doing so since September of 1854, when the first ever cricket match was played here. It's witnessed record-breaking events, such as the quickest cricket ball in Australia; bowled here by Shaun Tait in 2010. The top two highest first class scores ever happened at MCG in 1929 and 1923. But the Yarra Park grounds have contained more than just cricket. The grounds have also functioned as the centerpiece stadium for both the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Iconic Stadium In Melbourne
#melbournetrip
The guided tour of the MCG and the museum is a must while you are in Melbourne.The tour takes around an hour and you get to see most of the interesting parts of the ground - players box, media boxes, long room etc.
Lots of history and the guides are very knowledgeable. The museum is more of a kids activity centre with some exhibits.
MSG is brilliant stadium that has been host to Olympic and commonwealth games as well as large scale concerts and the best arena for AFL.It also host some soccer game when big clubs from premier leagues visit for pre season friendly.
Well signed, adequate transport options available and accessible friendly.
Would recommend the tour for $33.

But at night, go and explore. its eerily quiet and the vast expanses of the ground are incredible. Highly recommend the trip and experience to be had.#mytripvlog
