Problem is that for many matches of AFL it would be one quarter full. Some teams get around the 20k mark for matches at the MCG. Cricket won't get beyond 85k and will usually be significantly less. You don't want an empty stadium most of the time.
They won't extend the capacity by much. $110k at the very most. They are just annoyed that Perth Stadium is now considered the best stadium in Australia, and MCG are trying to reclaim the title. Good luck. Its a very expensive way of doing it.
One day of the year though. Remember not all grand finals even get to 100k. It would be less than a quarter full for many matches. Also remember that the seats between 100k to 130k are the most expensive to build but make the least revenue as they are so far from the action. That would be poor use of tax payer money.
@@jaysib_107 G is the MCG for Melbourne Cricket Ground. Victorians call it G. They're the only ones. Everyone else wanders what they're talking about. Massive stadium gets excellent crowds for the football and cricket season, plus other sports and concerts. But the thing is once you go over 100k then you'll have the stadium quarter full at times. Not a good look and expensive.
5 yrs ago they were looking into a roof. One that would work better than Docklands. Had a good long chat with a MCC supervisor about the plans. Told back then about the rebuilding of the Great southern stand.
Nothing like an afternoon at the MCG for a game of footy. Last year i went to see Melbourne and the Saints battle it out in like round 10 and there was still over 55,000 people there.
2:12 " The oval shape design always ensures that fans are always close to the action..." ....this is the sort of nonsense you get when you rely on AI generated videos.
The Victorian government seems to want to keep the MCG at the top of the world and make it bigger to make it climb up the ranks but tbh it isn’t really needed, no stadium in Australia will become as big as the G
@@Sportguyteehee you said that they want to keep the stadium "at the top of the world". Your words. Its not even the top in Australia, so how can it be possibly at the top of the world.
Good video but the ground probably doesn’t need that much money thrown into it given there’s much more important things $1bn can go towards. No doubt it would be great later on in the future. Also everytime I see vision of that India v Pakistan match from 2022 it just looked like it would’ve been one hell of an amazing experience being there.
Who calls it the People's ground? only people from Melbourne. That's just one city in Australia you know. Spending money on it is a massive waste of tax payer's money. Clearly as a venue Perth Stadium has gone past it. But wasting all that money on a stadium that is excellent already is a disgrace.
@@jackb5353then what should he use in his videos,if a creator isn't comfortable to voice over his videos with his own voice its ok , kmon man its an Ai technology nowadays, every creator wants to ease his/her burden by using Ai ,which is easily doing our work in just mins.
The 12th Experience, get your history right. Cricket was the original purpose of the MCG, but it Aussie Rules Football(AFL-it’s elite league) quickly took over as the dominant user over the ground for most Melbourne based teams season matches and finals, NOT JUST the Grand Final! The MCG and Aussie Rules Football is synonymous with each other. And yes the global market of TH-cam viewers will know what Aussie Rules Football is as it’s now becoming global on a grass roots level. Your underemphasis of Our nations native winter football code to the ‘G’ Is false and unfair. Everything else you said was fine, but that was a big mistake and unfair.
Your title is a little off - it would cost way more than $1B to rebuild the entire ground, probably about $3B - add at least another billion if they decided to roof the whole thing. It's much bigger than you seem to think. So change the title to upgrade and it might fit. Oh, and - Shane Warne's Ball of the Century was in England.
Thanks for the comment! The $1B mentioned is for upgrades, not a full rebuild. Things like modernizing the Great Southern Stand, better tech, and fan facilities fall under that cost. A total rebuild would definitely be way more, probably close to $3B like you said. I fixed the Ball of the Century error as well. Really appreciate it! Your feedback matters to me.
Nothing in the MCG is original. Its all been replaced every 20-30 years. Stands ripped down and replaced. I don't buy all the hype about the MCG at all. Its just a ground with huge capacity. Also Victorians love watching sport because the weather is so bad and the beaches and outdoor lifestyle is so poor.
You calling is runner up to Narendra modi stadium. Bro are you high or just Indian who is salty. MCG even in his bad time still better than that Big piece of sthis indian stadium
The "G's" capacity needs to be increased to120,000 because Melbourne's population is growing fast!!
Problem is that for many matches of AFL it would be one quarter full. Some teams get around the 20k mark for matches at the MCG. Cricket won't get beyond 85k and will usually be significantly less. You don't want an empty stadium most of the time.
The Great Southern Stand is now called the Shane Warne Stand, that's almost an insult to all Australians, get it right!!!!
If the 'G' had a 130,000-140,000 capacity it would be filled on AFL Grand Final day.
They won't extend the capacity by much. $110k at the very most. They are just annoyed that Perth Stadium is now considered the best stadium in Australia, and MCG are trying to reclaim the title. Good luck. Its a very expensive way of doing it.
@@BDub2024actually it's what would need to be spent to do it.

this should have been a 30 second video. all fluff
An American who has probably never been to the ‘G spouting rubbish about it.
MCG doesn't need an upgrade
I was just there last week. The Warne stand is absolutely not up to standards. The nothern side is fine

Yes it does!! Check out some of the new NFL stadiums and new premier league stadiums, its leaving the MCG behind!!
@@MrDredd1966 again no one cares bout them stop worrying about them
its a massive waste of money that will benefit the corporates.
Nothing like an afternoon at the MCG for a game of footy. Last year i went to see Melbourne and the Saints battle it out in like round 10 and there was still over 55,000 people there.
and about 50k melbourne fans
Boxing day test is the biggest event hosted in MCG every year
@ afl gf is miles bigger mate don’t see the cricket selling the G out
The "G" is the greatest, and the best cricket stadium in the world by far.
There is no distant 2nd.
This video doesn’t actually have any details about the MCG redevelopment.
2:12 " The oval shape design always ensures that fans are always close to the action..." ....this is the sort of nonsense you get when you rely on AI generated videos.
Great video, great ground , but I’d rather they wiped a billion bucks off our state debt, the improvements can wait awhile!
not required. waste of taxpayer's money. being second best stadium in Australia is still fine (behind Perth).
@ YES, we know it’s the best ground, I’ll get there one day!!!
5:56 is the SCG. Not the MCG lol
@@Golfcartslayer Thanks for your comment. I missed it, my bad 😭

Why so? Is there any problem?

Its not even the best stadium in Australia. Get real. Biggest crowds for sure. But for spectators experience its Perth Stadium hands down.
@ never said it’s the best, i legit said as BIG not as GOOD. Know the situation before you comment mate👍
@@Sportguyteehee you said that they want to keep the stadium "at the top of the world". Your words. Its not even the top in Australia, so how can it be possibly at the top of the world.
@ attendances
@@Sportguyteehee I reckon 100k is right to be honest.
A billion $ for a stadium that is old, past its use-by and is just an add-on from its former days. Nah. Knock it down!

1:40 and Taylor Swift, she pulled 96,000 three nights in a row.
Don't forget ed sheeran. He did 2 night shows getting 105000 and 110000. The mcg just outdoes other stadiums

Make video on optus stadium Sydney 😊
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll add it to my list.
Good little video except shane warnes ball of the century was in england not at the G
and there were a few scenes shown ~6:00 that were from the SCG
Thankyou for pointing these out. Will definitely keep these in mind for the upcoming videos. Really appreciate the feedback.
They say it’s going to sit 105,000 how much seating will be corporate not public recon %80 will corporate.
I call soccer football there no Soccer 🇦🇺 is call Football 🇦🇺 and second F in FIFA stand for Football (Federation International Football Association)

As a local to the “g” and regularly go there I hope they don’t roof it because it makes the lighting towers an iconic part of the stadium redundant
