 // __**When it comes to sport there is no place more suited than the MCG.**__ Being able to hold over 100,000 people it can host the greatest sporting events such as 103 VFL/AFL Grand Finals, 1956 Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games, the first test in 1877, and three Bledisloe Cup Rugby Union matches. The MCG is not just for sport, concerts have been held there since the first in 1974. In 1993 Paul McCartney, U2 and Madonna performed there each having an attendance between 40,000 and 55,000 people. Other famous musicians that have graced the greatest stadium in the world are The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Billy Joel and more.

We have chosen the MCG as our research task because we know that there is a rich heritage and lots of information along with our love for sport. We will research the origins of the ground and the events of its time. We will research the ground and stadiums and how they have changed. We’ll take a look back on all the famous faces of the MCG and the sports and events held there. //    MCG Home| History| Construction| Sports & Events| Famous Faces| MCG Reflection| [|Reflective Blog]| Mindmap| Bibliography
