The Melbourne Cricket Club was first established in November of 1838, and played its first match against a military team at a location that was then on the outskirts of the city of Melbourne. After moving their facilities to many different locations throughout the year, the Melbourne Cricket Club currently holds games at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds, a stadium located in Melbourne near Yarra Park. The stadium holds about 100,000 people, and is no longer home to just cricket games. Australian Rules football, as well as boxing matches and rugby also take place within the impressive stadium. The Melbourne Cricket Ground is often referred to simply as the "G" and currently holds the world record for the highest light poles in a stadium.
