I recently attended a private dinner function at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and was thoroughly impressed. The venue itself is iconic, offering stunning views of the field and a unique atmosphere. The event was impeccably organized, with every detail taken care of. The food was exceptional, with a diverse menu that catered to all tastes. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring that the evening ran smoothly. Overall, it was a memorable experience in a remarkable setting. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

We came from Adelaide to watch game 2 of the BRILLIANT State of Origin. What an AMAZING arena, I was absolutely spellbound by the size and atmosphere The staff were absolutely fabulous with all their help to get us to our seats..👍😁 Food was good, the drinks were so icy cold and the bathroom was super clean. If you get to go for any Sport Event and have never been before, Go, Go, Go and Enjoy the experience..👍😁👌

I went to the MCG for a staff training session. The room (Legends Room) was well set up. There are monitors on each wall so that you can see the presentation from any angle. The food was very good and quite plentiful. They also cater very well for any type of diet. The downside is that the toilets are upstairs.

Awesome atmosphere with Swans and Lions doing their Captains Run while we were touring the MCG. I loved the Australian Sports Museum showing off 100+ years of Aussie Sporting History
