  • I Ate My Crusts

My recent visit to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) left me exhilarated by the electric atmosphere generated by a full-capacity crowd. While the experience was undeniably sensational, a few areas of improvement prevent me from awarding a perfect 5-star rating. Let's start with the positives. The MCG undeniably shines when it comes to creating an unmatched ambiance during major sporting events. Being surrounded by a passionate crowd, united in their love for the game, adds an indescribable energy to the experience. The roaring cheers and infectious excitement truly make attending events at the MCG a memorable occasion. However, a few aspects fell short of expectations. Firstly, the quality of the food isn’t the best. While there was a diverse range of fast food available, the quality is a little disappointing and expensive for what you get. A little disheartening when the cuisine fails to match the enthusiasm of the event. A reassessment of the vendors and their offerings could greatly enhance the overall food experience. The state of the toilets was subpar during my visit. Given the size and popularity of the MCG, maintaining clean and functional restroom facilities should be a top priority. Improving the frequency of cleaning and ensuring adequate supplies would greatly enhance the visitor experience. Lastly, the sound system within the stadium could be greatly improved. While the atmosphere was electric, the audio quality during announcements and commentary was often echoing and slightly distorted. Enhancing the sound system would allow spectators to fully immerse themselves in the event and ensure clear communication throughout the stadium. Despite these shortcomings, the overall experience at the MCG remains a truly special one. The venue's rich history, ample seating, and impeccable crowd management contribute to creating an atmosphere that is unparalleled in its intensity. It is undoubtedly a place where unforgettable sporting memories are made. In conclusion, while the Melbourne Cricket Ground offers a sensational atmosphere and an experience that is second to none, there are areas that warrant improvement. The quality of the food, cleanliness of the toilets, and the sound system could all be enhanced to match the grandeur of the venue. Nonetheless, witnessing a full-capacity crowd and being part of the electric atmosphere is an experience that sports enthusiasts should not miss.

A bucket list item for everyone. Great venue - hosting cricket, football, music and many other events… Day, night, summer or winter. Especially love it when they let you on the ground - the kids have been lucky enough to kick a footy, meet sporting players and witness concerts from the middle of the ground. Been here countless times, arriving either on foot, by public transport via Jolimont or Richmond train station or trams to Rod Laver or Jolimont, and parking at the Eastern Plaza car park or Yarra Park (it was the best option for my young kids when attending late finishes - when is used to open regularly). Refer MCG website parking information. The best option for you may depend on what gate your tickets state. Great views from just about any seat (trust me and make sure to bring appropriate clothing if not under cover eg: a rain jacket or hat and sunscreen). Plenty of toilets, drink and food options. Don’t settle for the first thing you see. Look around. Not only is there expected beers, pie, chips, fish, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, pizza, donuts, icecreams and lollies but you’ll see water fountains to refill your bottles, coffees, gourmet pies, speciality carts/shops, south melb dim sims, curries, toasted sandwiches/baguettes, quiche, soups and salads, with loads more food trucks located just outside or BYO snacks to save a dollar. (No BYO drinks, other than water, allowed in). Ticketing process is easy. Have your ticket ready, know your gate number for entry and expect security checks. There’s sensory, prayer, first aid and parents rooms, Accessible facilities, and phone charging options. Be sure to checkout the guided tours if you haven’t already, and the MCG App.

I recently went in MCG for the first time to watch Ind v/s Pak and now I know why MCG is so hyped. The best experience for a cricket fan is here when a stadium can hold nearly 1lakh people. I fortunately got to see InD v/s pAk t20 match where Ind won. The vibe of this stadium plus the crowd and their enthusiasm to cheer their fav. Team is execellent and can only be felt in stadium . I would never never want to miss any Ind Vs Pak/Aus cricket match here. Food at food court was great, just had a wait time which is understandable with this much crowd. Toilets were clearly marked and clean. Had recycle plastic machine available at venues. Also appropriate bins at various location. Checkin process was on time and pre match events around stadium was nice organised too. Not just the match but overall experience at mcg was comfortable and great.

  • Wain Stanton

This is the final stadium to complete my test cricket grounds of the world bucket list. I have been to many iconic stadiums but this is on another level!! It's colossal!! The size of it, the logistics of the services available, the amount of staff to run the place, the list goes on and on. It has been renovated a few times to get to where it is but let's not forget the history behind it they have hosted the Olympic games, Commonwealth games, test cricket, footie and I'm sure other events I haven't mentioned. Sadly the old pavilion has disappeared during the renovations, but the result more than makes up for it. If you're a cricket lover, as I am, the boxng day test and the ashes must be experienced here. If you're in the vicinity just pop in to experience this fantastic stadium, well worth it!!

  • Faisal Shahzad

Stepping onto the hallowed turf of the MCG cricket ground was a dream come true, especially for a Pakistan cricket enthusiast like me. The history embedded in every blade of grass, every seat in the stands, is palpable. It's the same ground where our cricket heroes battled with courage and skill, illuminated by the artificial lights that bring the field to life even under the night sky. As I looked around, I imagined the cheers, the tension, and the glory that must have unfolded here, both under the sun and the floodlights. The MCG isn't just a stadium; it's a sanctuary of cricket memories. A heartfelt experience that every Pakistani cricket fan should treasure. ️ #MCG #PakCricketLegacy

Was my first time to the MCG for a Gala Dinner. What a spectacular time it was. The service was excellent, waitress very attentive to my needs, refilling my glass whenever needed. The food was good, only wished they had brought out the roast potatoes earlier as I started on my mains before realising there were potatoes to go with it, when it came out later. Also I felt sorry for my vegetarian compatriots, their food looked very basic, just vegetables piled on top, both for starters and mains, very boring. They could have had vegetable fritters for starters, or a vegetable Tart for mains. Maybe the chef needs to think about this.

  • Charlie

The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) stands as an iconic sporting arena in Australia, revered globally for its historical significance and grandeur. With a capacity to host over 100,000 spectators, the MCG is a legendary venue for cricket, Australian rules football, and major events. Steeped in history, it has witnessed historic sporting moments, including numerous Ashes battles and iconic AFL Grand Finals. The MCG's hallowed turf and state-of-the-art facilities create an unparalleled experience for sports fans, making it a symbol of sporting excellence and a must-visit destination for enthusiasts from around the world.

  • Prasad Falke

What a historic tour I had, headed straight from the airport and was able to keep my luggage in the locker space they had. Absolutely no issues. Ian was our guide and he was the most exciting person I have ever seen. He had so much energy, excitement, enthusiasm, and passion about cricket and all the historical events he shared with us was something special and most of us didn’t know. The museum tour is on your own but there are guides present as well. They will help you understand about anything you ask but it’s not limited to cricket. MCG is about everything. I highly recommend the tour.

  • Frank S

MCG, Melbourne Football Club, underground Carpark is entered through a security gate from Brunton Avenue. You can only enter if you're vehicle has been pre registered with the MCG management. Blue lifts, 5, 6, 7, take you up to Members Dining Room and several other function venues. Red Lifts, 9, 10 and 11 take you up to several levels including the Betty Cuthbert Bar and Betty Cuthbert Function Room, Olympic Room. Various functions I've attended here, staff are numerous and helpful, food is high quality and delicious and the atmosphere is unique.

  • MONISH SOMAIYA

Being a fan of cricket this place really amaze all cricket lovers. MCG is not only cricket ground but it is also home for rugby & football matches are played here. There are lot of guides give you all ideas of grounds & history. It takes like 3 to 4 hours to take entire visit. It was my first to go to any grounds like this & stand in grassfield as never got chance to go this close in Indian grounds. Really well maintained & there is souvenir shop to buy.

Stadium is generally pretty clean and has good signage for directions etc. However they make you Scan In AND out which was a little annoying, and the scanners didn't work either. We had to go up to an attendant each time we wanted to get in or out. The lights and sound system in the stadium are nice to see when a goal is scored, I imagine it would be great to see a musical performance here. Food and drink prices are as you'd expect at any venue like this, high price for average quality. Accessibility from the train is very easy as well

  • Vu Nguyen

I did a tour of that MCG that apparently most locals don’t usually go on it’s the out of town tourist like me usually get on this tour. I personally think it’s still worth going even if you are local. So much tradition and pride in this establishment. Very interesting to see even if you are not into cricket itself. It’s madness to hear that member waiting list is like 18+ years though Not much to say except enjoy some photos I took. It looks way better in person though. It has that ground feeling to it.

  • Katelyn Young

Went to a footy game and, went for a tour around the MCG. The men who took us on the tour were fantastic and, answered all the questions we had. We learnt a lot from this tour and I would recommend the tour to anyone. I'm not a local, however, I still recommend this tour for those near and far. Such a beautiful oval and, atmosphere. The staff are fantastic. The grounds are very well upkept and, the history of this place is nothing short of exceptional. I will definitely return to the marvellous MCG.

  • Josh Wood

The Melbourne Cricket Ground is a fantastic venue for football games. The stadium has a rich history and is one of the most iconic sporting venues in Australia. It has a great atmosphere and the crowd is always enthusiastic, which adds to the excitement of the game. The facilities are excellent, with plenty of food and drink options available, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Overall, I highly recommend checking out a football game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground!

  • Simon Green

I went to the MCG museum with my seven year old child. I highly recommend going at opening time. It was very quiet! There is a second calles "game on" which is an interactive sporting experience. My child spent over an hour in that section. The wristband given at entry has an rfid tag that allows interaction with exhibits and you have a souvenir that can reply your experience. So thoughtful and innovative! I will certainly come back here with the kids

  • Ace Stephan

The MCG and its accompanying museum certainly have a great rich history about them. There's much to see and do, and without being bias, I have to admit I had a good time, despite being a musician by nature and not the sporting type. It's a great place to bring kids and even seasoned sports fans will learn something about the processes and preparations that take place prior to each game. Believe it or not, mowing the lawn isn't the only job needed.

  • John Leyden

This review is for the guided tour of the MCG and the museum. 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. The MCC part is separated and interesting. We'll worth a visit to MCG, a couple of hours should suffice but you could spend much longer.

  • Alex Gagachef

The MCG is definitely the place to go for cricket, football (all codes) and every thing else stadium worthy. It is truly an iconic venue…, if you are from overseas do yourself an absolute favour.., go to the MCG to watch a game of football or cricket.. I pinch myself every time I go to the “G” !!! The guided tours are absolute must. Add the MCG to your bucket list as it is every bit as iconic as Lords and The Oval in London

  • Tay

Although I know next to nothing about cricket, this was such a great visit. The stadium tour was really interesting, and you get to see some fantastic facilities in the ground itself. The museum is also fantastic, so many interactive elements, including the opportunity to take part in some sports too. Would recommend, whether you’re a sports fan or not. Thank you Sue for a fantastic tour, hope you get your blazer!

  • Phil Stokes

Amazing stadium, but you already know that. View from any seat in the house is amazing and unobstructed. Great food options on site with all the stadium favourites. To avoid fighting for a park take the option to park more central in the city and enjoy the walk down the river and over the bridge that leads you right up to the stadium. If you have not been then book some tickets it is an experience of a lifetime!

  • NilanjanK

Watched the India Zimbabwe match yesterday. Amazing atmosphere and great to see families visiting. Only this I can add is the security could have been slightly tighter. I was sitting in the lower level close to the ground which I deliberately picked for its views. People came down in hoards from the upper level to take pictures and to get a closer view of the Indian cricketers which obstructed our views.

  • Ewan McLean

Definitely one of the best venues in the world to watch sport. The atmosphere is unmatched. Everything is easily accessible and enough facilities on site to accommodate even the largest of crowds. The only downside is the prices of everything inside. Surely they are making enough money that they can bring the prices down. Food quality is also pretty average at all the inside food shops.

  • Jay Murray

Great atmosphere! Very clean and well looked after venue. Food is priced as expected. $12 there abouts for a pie and chips. Entry speeds do need to be addressed as it can take upwards of 30mins shuffling in wonky self governed lines just to get to the ticket machines. Train stations at peak hour stand all over this system and the MCG could do with a system remodelling in this respect.

  • Bob Elliott

The tour was good but not as long or comprehensive as the Adelaide oval tour. All guides are MCG members. The National museum sporting museum is first class. Well worth the money 25/10/2023 Phil was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Went 15 minutes over the scheduled time. Well worth the price. Went back to the sports museum. New displays. Very interesting

  • Siddhartha Maharjan

Oh lord … man made structure where your soul beat out at its maximum capacity. Amazing to be here with all the team sprit .. Feels so powerful. The stadium of its kind . Plenty parking , picknic and family area. Connected to AAMI PARK STADIUM. Got all eatery, bar and many more !! Connected to Jolimond stations, one stop to great Fliinders street stations. Very close to CBD.

  • Debadrita Ghosh

What a place!! An amazing place for cricket Lovers. It was a Match between India vs Zimbabwe. That was my first visit & The experience was unforgettable. Love cricket. Get a tour of MCG. A great way to explore the famous cricketing ground.The sporting history in this venue, is amazing. The food inside was quite reasonable. If you're in Melbourne must visit place.

  • Jonnie Martin

The MCG. Home of my Mighty Melbourne Demons and Australia's sporting mecca. Whether its football, cricket or a mega international concert, the largest stadium in the southern hemisphere is sure to put on a show for you. The Melbourne Cricket Ground, the place where memories are made and childhood dreams come alive, both locally ally and on a international scale.

  • J Singh

Came here to watch Manchester United game on tour. It was amazing. The stadium looked amazing from afar and close up even better. The security guards were very friendly of me getting a photo from where we were not allowed because of our tickets. The seats were very nice and clean as for the toilets. The atmosphere was also great. Must go here. Very nice place.

  • Praloyjit Das

It was an amazing experience to watch Cricket match there. It was high contested match between India and Pakistan . The crowds were cheerful and the atmosphere was eclectic. The stadium was well maintained, the entry exit were pretty smooth. The bathrooms were alright and food service was good at the food joints inside the stadium.

  • martin ainger

Situated in Yarra Park. Went for a stadium tour, went high up in the stands, down to the edge of the grass, the dressing rooms, Members bar etc . I really enjoyed the tour guide. To be honest I enjoyed the tour at the SCG more as the ground is more atmospheric. Also had ability to ho to the museum but did not have the time! A good morning out

  • Jordan Woolmer

This ground has its history, and is a great place to watch the footy. Food vendors and toilets not too far from seat , easy to get in and out of the stadium. Did the tour last year , was great to see the inner sanctum.Sports museum is good too , could spend a whole day in there. Public transport nearby, but not too far to walk back to city.

  • Soumya Senapati

It is the largest Cricket Ground in Australia in terms of area. You can take guided tours over here and they will show you the entire stadium inside out. And one the best part is that they have Yarra Park outside the stadium which is well maintained and you will definitely love the vibe of it. Must visit place whenever you're in Australia.

  • claudio pierini

Absolutely brilliant, although I was here for the Melbourne Marathon & not the cricket unfortunately. Still was in awe when running into the stadium at the end of the race. Having watched so many international games on TV, to be actually there was a real moment. It goes without saying, the facility is stupendous, well looked after

  • Rizwan Sohail

Home of test cricket. Lots of history inside. Only way to see other than match days is MCG tour costing approx 35 Dollars. Tour takes you through various areas, practice nets, pavilions, top floor, mcc areas, cafes etc. 2nd largest stadium in the world for cricket. Must visit for cricket fans. Multiple tours throughout the day.

  • Crystal Taylor

I have been here for footy games and now a concert and the atmosphere has been amazing each time. There is plenty if food stalls to get your eats from and the view of the field is good from anywhere in the stands. Exiting is a little tricky just for the sheer number of people moving through but the staff seem to handle it well

  • Shruti Kohli

Had a blast at the Melbourne Stars vs. Melbourne Renegades WBBL match at the MCG! Seamless entry with well-marked gates, easy ticket scan, and excellent seating. The facilities were top-notch – clean toilets, great food options, and fantastic seats. The firework display was the cherry on top! Overall, a fantastic experience.

  • Tony Zammit

What an absolutely fantastic stadium. We booked a tour and it ended up that it was just my wife and I on it. Our tour guide was fabulous. We went down onto the boundry and he let us watch the Sheffield Shield match that was taking place. So much history and not all to do with Cricket. Definitely worth the entrance fee.

  • Ajay Chakiat

Mecca of cricket for me...MCG...such an organised place..even with 90000 spectators, i walked in literally straight under 1 min. Decent snack options and good places to have beer too.... Stands at level 1 and level 2 are out of this world and the ground, replay displays, vibe and atmosphere need to be experienced....

  • Andrea Thornhill

The venue is great spacious. The atmosphere was great. Food outlets inside are reasonable priced the selections were affordable and fresh. One let down was as soon as it had opened the amenities ladies bathroom were still dirty.

A Melbourne icon situated in and around Olympic Park next to all the sporting facilities. It is a must if you are a cricket and Australian football league fan. The atmosphere is electric on a good game day and selected team games. Full stadium for the finals. A must see and visit. Easy access using Public transport

  • Kenny W

A brilliant stadium that has been host to Olympic and commonwealth games as well as large scale concerts and the best arena for AFL. Well signed, adequate transport options available and accessible friendly. Would recommend the tour for $33. Our guide, Colin, was brilliant. Passionate and knowledgeable. Thankyou!

  • Guru Trichy

Watching a match at world's second largest cricket stadium MCG is a splendid and unforgettable experience. Love the seating views, amenities and the crowd. If you're in Melbourne please don't miss visiting this spectacular arena. There's a guided tour as well, walking you through this impressive MCG stadium.

  • MazCal

Melbourne’s iconic MCG is the best stadium to watch all your favourite sporting events & concerts. The footy atmosphere is amazing, it is very well maintained, kept clean, lots of signs so you don’t get lost, the staff are always helpful & the cafe / bar service is also good. The MCG experience is a must!

  • Evie E

We visited twice once for the tour and a game. The tour is well worth the visit being able to go behind the scenes whenever would you do this unless you are a sporting great. I don't follow AFL but sure enjoyed the game Collingwood vs Geelong these supporters are next level. Definitely would go again

I love how it is designed, every seat has a good view of the field. The location is perfect, it is like 3 mins walking from Jolimont train station. There is a lot of events that can go in MCG, and has the cabinets with kitchen. I think it is always good for everyone to try go there once at least.

  • Sogol Davari

Attended the Ed Sheeran concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. What an absolutely incredible experience! The stadium itself is massive, big enough for 110,000 fans to watch the concert last night. The sound quality was superb and the atmosphere was electric, making for an unforgettable night.

  • Linda W

I'm not even a sports fan but I organised a tour for my husband and I. We got lucky and had "rod the bod" for our guide. He managed to make a convert of me and even I, knowing nothing about cricket, thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt very proud to have such a world class venue in Australia.

  • Andrew McCauley

What a great place this is. The sporting history in this venue, is amazing. We really enjoyed watching the swans versus Richmond football team, and it was amazing. The entrance, the food and also the snack vending, was amazing. We really enjoyed the scenery and all that had to offer.

  • Leouel Jr Santos (Eleos Travel)

Went to Ed Sheerans concert and wow the place accommodated 111,000 people. I love the place, Clean toilets every corner and shops as well. I also like their disability area and access. The concert had kids, elderly and disabled people which is why this place is perfect for everyone.

  • Dylan Pukallus

Did a tour here and it was very enjoyable, Bryan was diligent and informative. We moved through lots of areas within the MCG and he gave different information and history for each. Would recommend a tour here, give you a chance to see the grounds without all the hustle of an event!

  • SARQ Sid

Went to the Boxing Day Test Match against South Africa. The entry was seamless. The staff checking the bags were thorough but quick. We sat on 2nd level Gate 1 N30. The view was good. The only downside is that there is only one bar and one food outlet, so the wait times were long.

  • Jake C

The best sporting place on Earth. If you are here complaining about the price of things. It's to be expected. The hotdogs are excellent value. Security are lovely and I can't say a bad thing about this place. I've seen music, cricket and AFL here and it's always sensational.

  • Eli Boymal

The mcg has always been an amazing place to watch sport and have a great time but the Ed Sheeran concert was the most amazing thing I have ever seen at the mcg. The food is always amazing with a wide range of choices, from amazingly healthy to not. Very cool place to be.

  • Sanket Chitale

If you are a true cricket lover this is the place you want to be at. Well organized tours. Very senior and knowledgeable guides to take your around. Amazing experience. Further they have amazing displays for other games played on the ground like football, footy etc.

  • Gav D

Great stadium for watching AFL football. Only disappointment is the extreme wait when purchasing a beverage or food (up to 25 minutes wait for a drink). Serving crowds in a timely manner should get easier after a century of events hosting over 100,000 people.

  • Pomeapple

Football at the MCG. Nothing compares. We usually reserve seats, but this time had to upgrade, which left us standing. No complaints here, think we'll stand from here on in.

Great stadium to watch a footy game. The seat numbers are not clear and it can be an issue if you arrive later as random people can sit in your seats and it can be hard to fix because the numbers are not clear on the seats.

  • Deion Thurston

There is nothing like the atmosphere at the MCG! The noise is deafening, and your throat bleeds as you try to out-shout the frenzied crowd. Oh, what a feeling!

  • Allie Maffren

One of the best sporting venues I've been to. Need more ladies toilets. Very helpful staff. Everything flows. Extra trams laid on. Easy to walk to and from.

  • Mohammad Taimoor Khan

Watched the first day of the Boxing Day test. Great crowd. They’ve setup “the outfield” outside the stadium with pakistani food trucks which was amazing

  • Warren Henningsen

AMAZING day at the 2023 AFL Grand Final as a guest of Toyota!! Incredible atmosphere, great seats and amazing game!! And to top it all off KISS live!!

  • Bruno Karalus

Probably the best stadium in the world. I mean it seats 100,000 people. Love watching the footy here on a Saturday arvo drinking beers in the stands.

  • Rizvi Ahmed

It was amazing experience visiting the Melbourne Cricket Ground. it took almost 120minutes to viait whole Ground and all areas of the Stadium.

  • Josh Todd

Had a good experience here. Atmosphere was great. Showed my friend his first AFL game and literally came down to the siren to win the game.

  • PalmsAngler Laurette

Love the ambience and the sound system here! Glad I bought a level 1 seat for a footy game. The chips are great and so were the wines!

  • Andrew Meadowcroft

We had a spectacular first visit to the MCG on Mother's Day to watch Collingwood and GWS play. Great corporate box and facilities.

  • idk idk

I go to the MCG to watch AFL games and I must stay it's probably the best stadium I've ever been to there's always so many people

  • Asif Rampurawala

Must see for cricket aficionados. Tours begin every 15 mins. Get combo tickets to MCG tour and sports museum to save 20 dollars.

  • Mark ONeill

Well worth the $30 entry fee which includes museum entry. Puts things in perspective. Artificial lighting for the grass too.
