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.

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.

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.
An excellent tour today of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Our guide (Phil) was so knowledgeable and personable.
All the questions were answered, all the sites were seen and yes, you get down onto the ground itself.

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.😂

The MCG is the biggest and most spectacular sports precinct in Australia. It's such a vibrant venue, delivering one of the best sports atmospheres in the world. I would recommend visiting even if you're not a sports person as this place is all about the experience. Facilities are great, and the stadium is easily accessible via public transport. Food and drinks are reasonably priced for a sports venue.
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.
