SCG

The SCG is an abbreviation for the Sydney Cricket Ground, perhaps the most famous stadium in Sydney.

The SCG is one of the largest sporting stadiums in Australia and hosts Twenty20 Cricket, One Day Internationals, Australian Rules Football, and Rugby Union.

The stadium hosted its first cricket test in 1882 at a time when it had only two grandstands: the Brewongle Stand and the original Members’ Stand. In subsequent years, two spectator mounds were constructed, known today as Paddington Hill and The Hill.

Presently, the SCG’s configuration has a playing field flanked by grandstand structures. These include the Bill O’Reilly Stand, which houses the corporate boxes and has space for public reserved seating; the Victor Trumper, Clive Churchill, and Brewongle Stands; and the Member’s and Ladies’ Stand, both of which were built in the late 19th century.

Some of the modern stands at SCG include the M.A. Noble, Messenger, and Bradman Stands, which were constructed in 2013. These stands contain facilities for media use, provide members with reserved seating, and have corporate boxes.

The other way to explore this stadium is to take a guided tour that will give you a chance to experience its history. Listen in to the fantastic stories of players and spectators, sit in the dressing room, and picture what it feels like to be a sporting legend. The tour also allows you to explore the SCG Museum, which houses sporting treasures and various exhibitions.

Guided tours run on all days except Sundays, public holidays, and major event days. They take 90 minutes and run from 10 to 11:30am, and online bookings are highly recommended for those interested.

Public transport is the easiest way to access the SCG and Allianz Stadium. Moore Park is a 20-minute walk or bus ride from Central Station. Paid parking is available in the Moore Park Precinct for around $25 per car. Special event parking prices may apply.
