| Alongside the Sydney Football Stadium in the Moore Park precinct, the Sydney Cricket Ground is the major ground in Sydney for Cricket and Australia Rules Football. The ground originally opened in 1886, and has been developed time and time again to become the great stadium it is today holding just over 44,000. Before the Sydney Football Stadium was built, the SCG was also the major venue for Rugby League with the Grand Final held at the ground for many years.
The ground has five main stands including two historic stands, the members and ladies stands. The ground is currently undergoing major capital works with the development of the new Hill Grandstand which will increase capacity to over 50,000.
