You don’t have to be a cricket fan to see the MCG – You just have to see it for the passion it exudes! Home to the 1956 Olympics, MCG or more popularly known as The G, the ground is the largest, oldest and among the most fiercely iconic attractions of the city. The stadium has been a host to country’s most spectacular athletic events like the first ever cricket Test match, the finals of the 1992 World Cup and innumerable AFL (Australian Football League) Grand finals.

If you are in the city and there is a match going on, either AFL or cricket, then you must try and catch it – the enormous vivacity exuded by the gathered crowds is baffling!

Even otherwise - and this option won’t cost you a penny - wander down to the MCG stadium and stand under its towering stands. Circumnavigate the premises and admire the Australian Post Avenue of legendary icons like Shane Warne and John Coleman immortalized in statues of bronze. Just meandering around the sporting ground makes for an experience as well - there is something very positive about this arena, perhaps that’s one reason why it acts as an irresistible magnet for tourists and locals alike!

You can further club this experience with one of the wide range of personal guided tours and discover what goes on behind the scenes at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground. With $20 per person, the tour might burn a little hole in your pocket but it shall leave you with an experience you will love bragging – for life!
