Walk the hallowed turf of the mighty MCG when the Melbourne Cricket Club holds an open day on Sunday 17 November to help celebrate its 175th anniversary.

Patrons will be able to trace the footsteps of past and present Collingwood greats out on the ground with their family and friends and have access to the premiership dais and hold a replica premiership cup.

Tours of the MCC Reserve, player change rooms and the National Sports Museum will also be conducted and fans will have the opportunity to meet some of their favourite sporting stars.

As a tenant club, Collingwood will have a presence on the day.

Collingwood memberships and merchandise will be on sale on the MCG concourse outside Gate 2 throughout the day where fans will be able to sign up for 2014 and purchase official club merchandise from the Star Athletic van.

There will also be an opportunity to enjoy the AFL’s official playground and footy and cricket clinics as part of the roving entertainment in Yarra Park.

Don’t miss out on your chance to experience the home of football like never before.
