About the Melbourne Cricket Ground
The Melbourne Cricket Ground, also called the MCG or locally the 'G, sits in Yarra Park, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and serves many sports. The Melbourne Cricket Club established the ground in 1853 and manages it, while the Victorian Government owns the stadium through the MCG Trust. Australian rules football and cricket are its main uses, and several Australian Football League teams call it home.
Each year the MCG stages the AFL Grand Final, described as the league championship event with the second-highest attendance in the world, along with the Boxing Day Test match. It has staged two Cricket World Cup finals, in 1992 and 2015, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1956 Summer Olympics, plus athletics and the hockey and football finals. Australia and England played the first Test match here in 1877 and the first One Day International in 1971.
Capacity is about 95,000, with another 5,000 standing-room places, for a total of 100,024. That makes it Australia's largest stadium, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and the eleventh-largest globally. The all-time crowd record of 121,696 was set at the 1970 VFL Grand Final. The ground is heritage-listed, on the Victorian Heritage Register and also on the Australian National Heritage List.

- Slender floodlight masts
- Thin light towers stand around the bowl. Print friendly adapts them to the print scale; Full detail keeps them as modeled, which suits a larger print. Printing slowly helps tall thin parts.
- Fine ribs on the roof rim
- Many thin ribs ring the top of the oval bowl. A bigger print keeps more of them, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep the rim edge crisp.
- One piece with the ground
- The Melbourne Cricket Ground is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Melbourne Cricket Ground takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
