Get Ashes highlights in your inbox - http://www.ecb.co.uk/ashes With an expected 90,000 people at the MCG for the Boxing Day Ashes Test between England and Australia in Melbourne we decided to try and show you just how big the MCG actually is! So we strapped on a Go Pro camera and when on a walk all the way to the top of the MCG - it's a long way up! (And pretty tiring too!)- published: 24 Dec 2013

The MCG
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is an Australian sports stadium located in Yarra Park, Melbourne, Victoria, and is home to the Melbourne Cricket Club It is the tenth-largest stadium in the world, the largest in Australia, the largest stadium for playing cricket, and holds the world record for the highest light towers at any sporting venue. The MCG is within walking distance of the city centre and is served by the Richmond railway station, Richmond, and the Jolimont railway station, East Melbourne. It is part of the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct. Internationally, the MCG is remembered as the centrepiece stadium of both the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The open-air stadium is also one of the world's most famous cricket venues, with the well-attended Boxing Day Test match commencing on Boxing Day (26 December) each year. Throughout the winter, it serves as the home of Australian rules football, with at least one game (though usually more) held there each round. The stadium fills to capacity for the AFL Grand Final in late September. The MCG, often referred to by locals as "The G", has also hosted other major events, including International Rules between the Australian Football League (AFL) and Gaelic Athletic Association, international Rugby union, State of Origin series (rugby league), FIFA World Cup qualifiers and International Friendly matches, serves as the finish line for the Melbourne Marathon and also major rock concerts. Until the 1970s, more than 120,000 people sometimes crammed into the venue -- the record crowd standing at around 130,000 for a Billy Graham evangelistic crusade in 1959, followed by 121,696 for the 1970 VFL Grand Final. Grandstand redevelopments and occupational health and safety legislation have now limited the maximum seating capacity to approximately 95,000 with an additional 5000 standing room capacity, bringing the total capacity to 100,024. _________________________________________ Intro By - Song - Kevin Blight Graphics - Jason Peters (keeleeng)- published: 01 Feb 2014

Where does the MCG pitch come from?
Where does the MCG pitch come from?
The MCG is rightly regarded as one of the best stadiums in the world. But how does it continue to produce such high-quality pitches, given that the venue is used for a myriad of different sports and events year-round? The Sledge travelled to the MCG to find out. Jonathan Howcroft speaks to David Sandurski, the MCG's Head Curator; Tony Gordon, the MCG's Arena Operations Manager; and Emma Inglis, the VicSpirit Women's T20 Captain.- published: 31 Oct 2013
