Sydney Cricket Ground

View of the electronic score board at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Sydney, Australia.

During the cricket season (October to March), the stately SCG is the venue for interstate cricket matches (featuring the NSW Blues), family-friendly Big Bash extravaganzas and sell-out international five-day test, one-day and T20 limited-over cricket matches. As the cricket season ends, the Australian Rules Football (AFL) season starts, and the stadium becomes a blur of red-and-white-clad Sydney Swans (www.sydneyswans.com.au) fans.

The atmosphere for international cricket and Swans games is excellent. Book via Ticketek. Tours of the ground are also available.
