A Look At MCG
Originally constructed in 1853, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was intended for use by the Melbourne Cricket Club after the government had ordered the Club to relocate from its former site due to the former site's interference with the construction of Australia's first steam train. Most frequently used for international tournaments of the game cricket, the Melbourne Cricket Ground has also been used for the 1956 Olympic Games, the World Cup Final in 1992, and countless other famous recreational events in history. However, it is important to note that the Melbourne Cricket Ground is not solely used for recreational purposes. In fact, mass was held in 1986 by the Pope John Paul the second himself on his visit to Melbourne. It has also been frequently used for music concerts as well as sporting events.
Located off Brunton Avenue, the MCG is adjacent to Yarra Park. The MCG can be conveniently accessed by almost any mode of transportation available, including: train, car, bus, bicycle, taxi, or by foot. A wide variety of hotels are located just minutes from the MCG, the Hilton on the Park in Wellington Parade of the most famous. Quest Richmond, an apartment complex with nearby shopping malls, is just under a ten-minute walk from the stadium.
With a total stadium capacity of 100,000, this large recreational complex can accommodate many people. In the summer season, the Australian Football League (AFL) holds games at the MCG and fans can either purchase individual or season tickets. The AFL is undoubtedly the most prominent (and most popular) recreational event held at the MCG; the football season runs from late March until late August every year. The MCG also accommodates those with disabilities, by providing special parking and seating arrangements for disabled persons. Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs), first aid, public telephones and public restrooms are available as well at the complex.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground can truly be admired for all its architectural wonder and famous past events. It is known throughout both Australia and the world as one of the most famous and oldest recreational complexes in history.
