MCG Open Day - Farewell the footy season with a kick on the ‘G!
On Sunday 4 October, the day after the Grand Final, the MCG will host its third annual Open Day. A free public event, MCG Open Day allows sports fans to gain rare access to the hallowed turf of the MCG for a kick-to-kick with family and friends, as well as explore otherwise off-limits parts of the stadium such as the player change rooms and historic MCC Long Room.
The world-class National Sports Museum will also be open, with Open Day attendees able to explore the highlights and history of Australian sport at a significantly discounted rate of just $5 per person.
A fantastic day out for kids and adults, there will be a range of additional entertainment activities taking place in Yarra Park as well as inside the stadium – including the opportunity to recreate iconic sporting moments and take a picture with the 2015 replica AFL Premiership Cup* and the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy.
Melbourne Cricket Club CEO Stephen Gough said the club was looking forward to once again opening up ‘The People’s Ground’ to the people, following the AFL Grand Final.
“Open Day provides a great opportunity for all people to come and enjoy the magic of the ‘G with friends and family,” said Mr Gough.
‘Whether you follow footy, cricket, soccer or anything in between, nothing can match the experience of being on the hallowed turf or exploring the inner sanctum of the MCG, and we encourage everyone to come along and be a part of it.”
