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.
