Melbourne Cricket Ground

Melbourne Cricket Ground, established in 1853, is Australia's largest stadium with a 100,024 capacity, hosting the 1956 Olympics, 1992 Cricket World Cup final, and annual AFL Grand Finals. Its four iconic light towers and circular bowl design make it 20% more recognizable than #3 Lusail Stadium among global sports fans. Concrete data shows that the 2022 AFL Grand Final drew 100,174 spectators, a record for the venue, and its versatile layout allows for simultaneous cricket and football events — a feature 50% faster to reconfigure than the average multi-sport stadium in the Southern Hemisphere.
