If you are a fan of the Australian sports scene, even an occasional fan, you will surely have heard of the MCG. This stunning establishment was initiated back in 1853 by the Melbourne Cricket Club. It is now fondly referred to by locals as the 'G' and is considered the base for Australian sport and one of the most sacred places in the realm of the AFL.
It currently holds a seating capacity that can fit close to 100,000 people and is generally accepted as the most significant sporting facility in the southern hemisphere. In addition, to be an essential part of sporting culture in Australia, the MCG also holds the National Sports Museum.
