Best Insider tip at Melbourne Cricket Ground?

The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is the home of multiple teams in the Australian Football League, in addition to being a venue used for International Cricket and domestic T20 competitions like the BBL. "The G" is an outdoor arena primarily used for Australian Rules football games with a seating capacity of over 100,000. Located in Richmond, about 2km from Melbourne's city centre. This prestigious venue is the pride of Melbourne, which is a city that boasts of being "the sporting capital of Australia". It goes without saying that the MCG is a must-visit for any sports fan.

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. Secondly, if you are the one who has placed your jacket on a seat, you are free to go to one of the bars before the game, and still come back to your seat (and jacket) in time for the action to start.
