Best Insider tip at Melbourne Cricket Ground?

Take some time to walk around the ground and soak up the atmosphere and history of one of the world’s most famous and iconic sporting stadiums. Bronze statues of past greats from a variety of sports look over the arena they once plied their trade on.

It’s an unwritten law at the MCG that if you see a jacket on a seat, it means the seat is taken. It’s cool for 2 reasons- there is an understanding among fans at the G, no matter which team you support.
