(S27) PT2 - Host City

[NicholasTheGreat]

The ideal location for both the Ultimini championship game and the Ultimus championship game is in Melbourne, Australia. In Melbourne there is one of the greatest and most memorable sporting ground in the entire world, the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The Melbourne Cricket Ground, commonly referred to as the MCG, was the centrepiece venue for the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne and currently has a capacity of over 90 thousand spectators. It is currently home to and previously hosted a large number of famous events including:

- Cricket Matches since 1877
- A large Billy Graham sermon in 1959 that had almost 150 thousand people in attendance
- Housed American soldiers during the Second World War
- The main venue for the 2006 Commonwealth Games
- The final of the 2015 International Champions Cup between Real Madrid and Manchester City which gathered a crowd of 99,382.
- It was the venue for WWE’s Super Show-Down in 2018
- Held an Eminem concert in 2019 that had over 80 thousand in attendance.
- Had one of the highest ever crowds for a women’s sporting event with the final of the Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2020, a crowd of 86 thousand people.

All of these events prove the validity of the Melbourne Cricket Ground as a world-class venue and show that it is deserving of hosting championship football for the leagues.

The halftime show will be a salute to the greatest music from Australia. The bands and artists performing will be:
- AC/DC
- INXS
- Silverchair
- Powderfinger
- Kylie Minogue
- Jimmy Barnes [AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
- Gotye.
