The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is 153 years old and one of the largest capacity sporting venues of the world. It has great historic and spiritual significance as the home of Australian cricket and the main venue for Australian Rules Football.
The MCG is open and transparent, with views back to the city and into the Yarra Park. Each of the three new entrances features a grand glass atrium, and the new hybrid roof is constructed of metal and glass. Sightlines are uninterrupted and the new structure is much closer to the field of play.
The MCG5, a joint venture between HOK Sport, Daryl Jackson, Hassell, Cox Architects and TS&E, provided full architectural services.
