49ers vs. Rams live updates: NFL Melbourne Game score, prediction, odds and latest from Australia

Daniel touched on this earlier. Not only is this historic game being played in Melbourne, Australia. It is taking place on what any Australian would deem to be hallowed ground.

The Melbourne Cricket Ground — known in its shortened form as the MCG and also as its even shorter form of simply ‘The G’ — has a capacity of just over 100,000 spectators. It is a coliseum, surrounding the field with a wall of supporters every which way you look.

This is the venue where the revered Australia men’s Test team plays cricket every Boxing Day and come the end of September, it’s the venue for Australia’s own Super Bowl: the Australian Football League (AFL) Grand Final.

Legends have been made in this place since it was first established by the Melbourne Cricket Club in September 1853, and the roar that greets the country’s favorite Australian rules football teams is like nothing on earth.

In truth, the MCG is WHY this game is taking place in Melbourne — and today it gets to showcase that to a whole new audience.
