A new brick stand, considered at the time to be the world's finest cricket facility, was built in its place.

It was also in 1881 that a telephone was installed at the ground, and the wickets and goal posts were changed from an east–west orientation to north–south. In 1882 a scoreboard was built which showed details of the batsman's name and how he was dismissed. </p><p>When the Lillywhite tour stand burned down in 1884 it was replaced by a new stand which seated 450 members and 4500 public.

The 4000-seat Harrison Stand on the ground's southern side was built in 1908 followed by the 8000-seat Wardill Stand in 1912. In the 15 years after 1897 the grandstand capacity at the ground increased to nearly 20,000, while the full ground capacity was almost 60,000. </p><p>In 1927, the second brick members' stand was replaced at a cost of £60,000. The Harrison and Wardill Stands were demolished to make way for the Southern Stand which was opened at the end of 1936. The Southern Stand, which spanned almost half of the field's circumference, seated 18,200 under cover and 13,000 in the open and was the main public area of the MCG.

Ethics aside, New South Wales could not afford the £1000 and only managed to travel to Melbourne after half the team's travel cost of £181 was put up by Sydney barrister Richard Driver. </p><p>The game eventually got under way on 26 March 1856. The Victorians, stung by criticism over the £1000 stake, argued over just about everything; the toss, who should bat first, whether different pitches should be used for the different innings and even what the umpires should wear. </p><p>Victoria won the toss but New South Wales captain George Gilbert successfully argued that the visiting team should decide who bats first. The MCG was a grassless desert and Gilbert, considering players fielded without boots, promptly sent Victoria into bat. Needing only 16 to win in the final innings, New South Wales collapsed to be 5 for 5 before Gilbert's batting saved the game and the visitors won by three wickets.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In subsequent years conditions at the MCG improved but the ever-ambitious Melburnians were always on the lookout for more than the usual diet of club and inter-colonial games. In 1861, <a href="/wiki/Felix_William_Spiers" title="Felix William Spiers">Felix William Spiers</a> and Christopher Pond, the proprietors of the Cafe de Paris in <a href="/wiki/Bourke_Street" title="Bourke Street">Bourke Street</a> and caterers to the MCC, sent their agent, W.B. Mallam, to England to arrange for a cricket team to visit Australia. </p><p>Mallam found a team and, captained by Heathfield Stephenson, it arrived in Australia on Christmas Eve 1861 to be met by a crowd of more than 3000 people. The team was taken on a parade through the streets wearing white-trimmed hats with blue ribbons given to them for the occasion. Wherever they went they were mobbed and cheered by crowds to the point where the tour sponsors had to take them out of Melbourne so that they could train undisturbed. </p><p>Their first game was at the MCG on New Year's Day 1862, against a Victorian XVIII. The Englishmen also wore coloured sashes around their waists to identify each player and were presented with hats to shade them from the sun. Some estimates put the crowd at the MCG that day at 25,000. It must have been quite a picture with a new 6000 seat grandstand, coloured marquees ringing the ground and a carnival outside. Stephenson said that the ground was better than any in England. The Victorians however, were no match for the English at cricket and the visitors won by an innings and 96 runs. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:MCG-1864.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/MCG-1864.JPG/220px-MCG-1864.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="160" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/MCG-1864.JPG/330px-MCG-1864.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/MCG-1864.JPG/440px-MCG-1864.JPG 2x" data-file-width="903" data-file-height="658" /></a><figcaption>1864 match between <a href="/wiki/Victoria_cricket_team" title="Victoria cricket team">Victoria</a> and <a href="/wiki/George_Parr_(cricketer)" title="George Parr (cricketer)">George Parr</a>'s <a href="/wiki/English_cricket_team_in_Australia_and_New_Zealand_in_1863%E2%80%9364" title="English cricket team in Australia and New Zealand in 1863–64">touring All-England Eleven</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Over the four days of the 'test' more than 45,000 people attended and the profits for Speirs and Pond from this game alone was enough to fund the whole tour.

Local cricket authorities went out of their way to cater for the needs of the team and the sponsors. They provided grounds and sponsors booths without charge and let the sponsors keep the gate takings. The sponsors however, were not so generous in return.

Conway ignored the cricket associations in each colony and selected his own Australian team, negotiating directly with the players.

Both needed the other, but resented the dependence. The VFL made the first move which brought things to a head by beginning the development of <a href="/wiki/VFL_Park" class="mw-redirect" title="VFL Park">VFL Park</a> at <a href="/wiki/Mulgrave,_Victoria" title="Mulgrave, Victoria">Mulgrave</a> in the 1960s as its own home ground and as a potential venue for future grand finals. Then in 1983, president of the VFL, <a href="/wiki/Allen_Aylett" title="Allen Aylett">Allen Aylett</a> started to pressure the MCG Trust to give the VFL a greater share of the money it made from using the ground for football. </p><p>After negotiations with the MCC in 1964, <a href="/wiki/Richmond_Football_Club" title="Richmond Football Club">Richmond</a> joined Melbourne playing their home games at the MCG from <a href="/wiki/1965_VFL_season" title="1965 VFL season">1965</a>. </p><p>In March 1983 the MCG trustees met to consider a submission from Aylett. Aylett said he wanted the Melbourne Cricket Club's share of revenue cut from 15 per cent to 10 per cent. He threatened to take the following day's opening game of the season, Collingwood vs Melbourne, away from the MCG. The money was held aside until an agreement could be reached. </p><p>Different deals, half deals and possible deals were done over the years, with the <a href="/wiki/Premier_of_Victoria" title="Premier of Victoria">Premier of Victoria</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Cain_II" class="mw-redirect" title="John Cain II">John Cain, Jr.</a>, even becoming involved. Cain was said to have promised the VFL it could use the MCG for six months of the year and then hand it back to the MCC, but this never eventuated, as the MCG Trust did not approve it. In the mid-1980s, a deal was done where the VFL was given its own members area in the Southern Stand. </p><p>Against this background of political maneuvering, in 1985 <a href="/wiki/North_Melbourne_Football_Club" title="North Melbourne Football Club">North Melbourne</a> became the third club to make the MCG its home ground. In the same year, North played in the first night football match at the MCG for almost 110 years, against Collingwood on 29 March 1985. </p><p>In 1986, only a month after <a href="/wiki/Ross_Oakley" title="Ross Oakley">Ross Oakley</a> had taken over as VFL Commissioner, VFL executives met with the MCC and took a big step towards resolving their differences. Changes in the personnel at the MCC also helped. In 1983 <a href="/wiki/John_Lill_(cricketer)" title="John Lill (cricketer)">John Lill</a> was appointed secretary and <a href="/wiki/Don_Cordner" title="Don Cordner">Don Cordner</a> its president. </p><p>Shortly after the Southern Stand opened in 1992, the Australian Football League moved its headquarters into the complex. The AFL assisted with financing the new stand and came to an agreement that ensures at least 45 AFL games are played at the MCG each year, including the Grand Final in September. Another 45 days of cricket are also played there each year and more than 3.5 million spectators come to watch every year. Also in 1992, <a href="/wiki/Essendon_Football_Club" title="Essendon Football Club">Essendon</a> became the fourth AFL club to call the MCG home with <a href="/wiki/Collingwood_Football_Club" title="Collingwood Football Club">Collingwood</a> staging the majority of their home games at the MCG from 1994 onwards before fully moving from <a href="/wiki/Victoria_Park,_Melbourne" title="Victoria Park, Melbourne">Victoria Park</a> to the MCG in 2000. <a href="/wiki/Carlton_Football_Club" title="Carlton Football Club">Carlton</a> have also used the ground for up to five home games a year since 1992. </p><p>After the closure of <a href="/wiki/Waverley_Park" title="Waverley Park">Waverley Park</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hawthorn_Football_Club" title="Hawthorn Football Club">Hawthorn</a> moved their home games to the MCG in 2000. </p><p>As of the end of 2011, <a href="/wiki/Matthew_Richardson_(Australian_rules_footballer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Matthew Richardson (Australian rules footballer)">Matthew Richardson</a> holds the records for having scored the most goals on the MCG and as of 2021 <a href="/wiki/Scott_Pendlebury" title="Scott Pendlebury">Scott Pendlebury</a> holds the record for playing the most matches.

The MCG was the Federal Government's preferred venue but there was resistance from the MCC. The inability to decide on the central venue nearly caused the Games to be moved from Melbourne. Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Robert_Menzies" title="Robert Menzies">Robert Menzies</a> recognised the potential embarrassment to Australia if this happened and organised a three-day summit meeting to thrash things out. Attending was Victorian Premier <a href="/wiki/John_Cain_(senior)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Cain (senior)">John Cain, Sr.</a>, the Prime Minister, deputy opposition leader <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Calwell" title="Arthur Calwell">Arthur Calwell</a>, all State political leaders, civic leaders, Olympic officials and trustees and officials of the MCC. Convening the meeting was no small effort considering the calibre of those attending and that many of the sports officials were only part-time amateurs. </p><p>As 22 November, the date of the opening ceremony, drew closer, Melbourne was gripped ever more tightly by Olympic fever. At 3 pm the day before the opening ceremony, people began to line up outside the MCG gates. That night the city was paralysed by a quarter of a million people who had come to celebrate. </p><p>The MCG's capacity was increased by the new Olympic (or Northern) Stand, and on the day itself 103,000 people filled the stadium to capacity. A young up and coming distance runner was chosen to carry the Olympic torch into the stadium for the opening ceremony. </p><p> Although <a href="/wiki/Ron_Clarke" title="Ron Clarke">Ron Clarke</a> had a number of junior world records for distances of 1500 m, one mile (1.6 km) and two miles (3 km), he was relatively unknown in 1956. Perhaps the opportunity to carry the torch inspired him because he went on to have a career of exceptional brilliance and was without doubt the most outstanding runner of his day. At one stage he held the world record for every distance from two miles (3 km) to 20 km. His few failures came in Olympic and Commonwealth Games competition. Although favourite for the gold at Tokyo in 1964 he was placed ninth in the 5,000 metres race and the marathon and third in the 10,000 metres. He lost again in the <a href="/wiki/1966_Commonwealth_Games" class="mw-redirect" title="1966 Commonwealth Games">1966 Commonwealth Games</a> and in 1968 at altitude in Mexico he collapsed at the end of the 10 km race. </p><figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg/220px-Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="175" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg/330px-Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg/440px-Ron_Clarke_carrying_the_Olympic_Torch_during_opening_ceremony_at_Melbourne_Olympic_Games.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="478" /></a><figcaption>Ron Clarke carrying the Olympic Torch through the MCG at the 1956 Olympic Games' opening ceremony.</figcaption></figure> <p>On that famous day in Melbourne in 1956 the torch spluttered and sparked, showering Clarke with hot magnesium, burning holes in his shirt. When he dipped the torch into the cauldron it burst into flame singeing him further. In the centre of the ground, John Landy, the fastest miler in the world, took the Olympic oath and sculler Merv Wood carried the Australian flag. </p><p>The Melbourne Games also saw the high point of Australian female sprinting with <a href="/wiki/Betty_Cuthbert" title="Betty Cuthbert">Betty Cuthbert</a> winning three gold medals at the MCG. She won the 100 m and 200 m and anchored the winning 4 x 100 m team. Born in Merrylands in Sydney's west she was a champion schoolgirl athlete and had already broken the world record for the 200 m just before the 1956 Games. She was to be overshadowed by her Western Suburbs club member, the <a href="/wiki/Marlene_Matthews" class="mw-redirect" title="Marlene Matthews">Marlene Matthews</a>. When they got to the Games, Matthews was the overwhelming favourite especially for the 100 m a distance over which Cuthbert had beaten her just once. </p><p>Both Matthews and Cuthbert won their heats with Matthews setting an Olympic record of 11.5 seconds in hers. Cuthbert broke that record in the following heat with a time of 11.4 seconds. The world record of 11.3 was held by another Australian, Shirley Strickland who was eliminated in her heat. In the final Matthews felt she got a bad start and was last at the 50 metre mark. Cuthbert sensed Isabella Daniels from the USA close behind her and pulled out a little extra to win Australia's first gold at the Games in a time of 11.5 seconds, Matthews was third. The result was repeated in the 200 m final. Cuthbert won her second gold breaking Marjorie Jackson's Olympic record. Matthews was third again. </p><p>By the time the 1956 Olympics came around, <a href="/wiki/Shirley_Strickland" title="Shirley Strickland">Shirley Strickland</a> was a mother of 31 years of age but managed to defend her 80 m title, which she had won in Helsinki four years before, winning gold and setting a new Olympic record. </p><p>The sensational incident of the track events was the non-selection of Marlene Matthews in the 4 x 100 m relay. Matthews trained with the relay team up until the selection was made but Cuthbert, Strickland, Fleur Mellor and Norma Croker were picked for the team. There was outrage at the selection which increased when Matthews went on to run third in both the 100 m and 200 m finals. Personally she was devastated and felt that she had been overlooked for her poor baton change. Strickland was disappointed with the way Matthews was treated and maintained it was an opinion held in New South Wales that she had baton problems. One of the selectors, Doris Magee from NSW, said that selecting Matthews increased the risk of disqualification at the change. But Cuthbert maintained that the selectors made the right choice saying that Fleur Mellor was fresh, a specialist relay runner and was better around the curves than Matthews. </p><p>The men did not fare so well. The 4 x 400 m relay team, including later IOC Committee member <a href="/wiki/Kevan_Gosper" title="Kevan Gosper">Kevan Gosper</a>, won silver. Charles Porter also won silver in the high jump. Hec Hogan won bronze in the 100 m to become the first Australian man to win a medal in a sprint since the turn of the century and despite injury John Landy won bronze in the 1500 m. Allan Lawrence won bronze in the 10,000 m event. </p><p>Apart from athletics, the stadium was also used for the soccer finals, the hockey finals, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and an exhibition game of baseball between the Australian National Team and a US armed services team at which an estimated crowd of 114,000 attended. This was the <a href="/wiki/Guinness_World_Record" class="mw-redirect" title="Guinness World Record">Guinness World Record</a> for the largest attendance for any baseball game, which stood until a 29 March 2008 exhibition game between the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Red_Sox" title="Boston Red Sox">Boston Red Sox</a> and <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Dodgers" title="Los Angeles Dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Coliseum" class="mw-redirect" title="Los Angeles Coliseum">Los Angeles Coliseum</a> (also a former Olympic venue in <a href="/wiki/1932_Summer_Olympics" title="1932 Summer Olympics">1932</a> and <a href="/wiki/1984_Summer_Olympics" title="1984 Summer Olympics">1984</a>) drawing 115,300. </p><p>The MCG was also used for another demonstration sport, Australian Rules. The Olympics being an amateur competition meant that only amateurs could play in the demonstration game. A combined team of amateurs from the VFL and VFA were selected to play a state team from the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA). The game was played 7 December 1956 with the VAFA side, wearing white jumpers, green collars and the Olympic rings on their chests, winning easily 81 to 55. One of the players chosen for the VFA side was <a href="/wiki/Lindsay_Gaze" title="Lindsay Gaze">Lindsay Gaze</a> (although he never got off the bench) who would go on to make his mark in another sport, <a href="/wiki/Basketball" title="Basketball">basketball</a>, rather than Australian Rules. </p><p>The MCG's link with its Olympic past continues to this day.
