Information about the Melbourne Cricket Ground
For history, pure drama and emotion, it’s hard to look past the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Known colloquially as the ‘G’, Australia’s favourite stadium is a 365-days-per-year function facility that is as versatile as any stadium in the world. The hallowed turf of the MCG has been the location of many famous sporting events and now has outstanding function spaces including spectacular views of the city skyline and over the arena.
The beautifully appointed function spaces offer an abundance of natural light, with most offering views overlooking the playing arena. Many of the function rooms are equipped with in-built audio visual equipment.
The MCG has an award winning culinary team, driven by their food philosophy of selecting the finest quality produce and using it when it is at its best – in season.
Another fine feature of the MCG is its close proximity to the Melbourne Central Business District, with just a short train or tram ride required to reach the arena. The ‘G’ is only minutes away from the heart of the city, with all forms of transport within easy access including a pedestrian bridge connecting to Federation Square.
