The Thrill of Footy at the MCG
The MCG is the home of Aussie Rules, and it still delivers a special feeling every time. There is joy in the walk through the city, joy in seeing the stands fill with colour, and real euphoria when the crowd lifts for a goal, a mark, or a late charge. It is one of Melbourne’s great live experiences.
Make a proper outing of it. Start at Timeout Fed Square, enjoy the city atmosphere, then head to the MCG for a huge day or night of AFL football.
