14 Historic Stadiums Reborn: Where Sports Legends Now Host Epic Events

9. Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG, Australia): The Pulsating Heart of Australian Sport

The MCG, a colossal symbol of Australian sport, has undergone countless expansions and redevelopments since its 1853 origins, effectively being reborn multiple times. Its current iteration, significantly modernized for the 2006 Commonwealth Games, features state-of-the-art facilities, improved seating, and massive video screens, yet retains its iconic pitch and the sheer scale that accommodates over 100,000 spectators. It remains the global epicenter for Boxing Day Tests, AFL Grand Finals, and major concerts, consistently reinventing itself to maintain its status as a world-leading, multi-sport mega-venue.
