    The Old Girl is Still Kicking!
    Been a few years since my last visit and it was my first one day match for close to 20 years. But very hard to knock back an offer to go to a corporate box? A great experience, friendly staff, great viewing spot and full-strength beer on offer, what more do you want? I first visited the SCG with my dad in the 60's and made many visits thru the 70's, 80's &90's. As a sport location it has evolved & changed over the decades but still gets the job done. A world class facility and having been to the first day/night match in 1978, it was great to go to the most recent with the same opposition, the West Indies and the same result! An Aussie win!!
    Thank you for the positive review of the SCG and the match you recently attended. The connection you have with the ground is special. Being at the first day night match in 1978 and to see the lights come on would have been incredible experience. Best wishes always.

    Unforgettable Experience at Sydney Cricket Ground for Pak vs Aus Test Match!
    Visiting the Sydney Cricket Ground on 3rd January for the thrilling Pak vs Aus Test Match was an absolute highlight of our trip! The atmosphere was electric, and watching the game with friends made it even more memorable. We booked a group transfer with Aussie Baby Taxi, the best cab service in Sydney, and they provided a seamless and comfortable ride to and from the stadium. Highly recommend both the SCG and Aussie Baby Taxi for an unforgettable experience in Sydney!
    We appreciate your kind words regarding the SCG and the recent match you experienced. The test matches held at the SCG are truly a unique and special occasion every year. Referred to as the pink test in tribute to Jane McGrath, the atmosphere at the ground is always vibrant. Thank you and warm regards.

This is a fantastic ground to watch a cricket match, especially a fast-paced T20 match. Easy to get to with the new light rail service connecting to Central Railway Station it is a great place to enjoy. Do beware the pricing at the outlets, they know how to charge.

I supposed to be at the SCG for my AFL match while writing this review. I really miss my AFL as well as the SCG, always have a great atmosphere at the home game. Snack and drink at the entertainment complex before the game, then some nibbles and drink during the game at the SCG.
I can't wait to go back once the travel restrictions have been lifted.

We booked a tour of SCG for my cricket obsessed family and I have to admit, even I, with very little interest in/ knowledge of the game, really enjoyed the tour.

Our tour of the stadium included a visit to the commentators box/ room, the players locker rooms, stands and was filled with interesting trivia about games and players which made it really interesting.

Highly recommend!

The catering at the SCG is dreadful; overpriced and woeful. Being coeliac I searched every food outlet for something gluten free. One outlet had sandwiches that after finally attracting the attention of the server were stale and inedible. In this day and age catering for the needs of crowds with good food is commonplace hovever, the SCG lags far behind the other state capital stadiums. Very disappointed.

As a cricket nut who loves the history of the game this is a must place to visit when you are in Sydney. The history of the ground is so interesting and the whole tour was fantastic. From the baggy green worn by Sir Don Bradman and another by Steve Waugh to sitting in the Captains change room chair in the Australian dressing room. I don’t think you could out a price on that experience. The only negative was that the Sydney Swans were training on the ground so we were unable to walk on the turf, but there is always next time.

Thank you for the review of the SCG Tour. We are proud of the venue and the heritage of this iconic sports ground. Our museum does have some key cricket and sports memorabilia on display including a Don Bradman Baggy Green. Best wishes and thanks for visiting the SCG.

Beautiful cricket ground with a couple of old stands still. Easy to enter and leave with friendly, helpful staff. Plenty of cover during rain. Plenty places to view cricket close up.
