The Melbourne Renegades are embarking on a new chapter, with the MCG to become the club's primary home ground from this season.
The agreement with the MCC will see the club's marquee home fixtures relocate to one of world cricket's most iconic stadiums, including the Melbourne Derby.
The move concludes a 15-year association with Marvel Stadium, which hosted a number of memorable moments in the club's history, including the club's BBL|08 Championship.
AFL and Stadium Members will continue to gain access to all Renegades and Stars matches at the MCG this season.
Scott Fitzgerald, General Manager Marvel Stadium said: “Marvel Stadium has been the home of the Melbourne Renegades for the past 15 years, and we thank the club for the wonderful partnership which has been littered with many incredible moments, including their BBL|08 Championship.
"We’re pleased that our partnership will continue with our AFL and Stadium Members having access to Renegades and Stars matches at the MCG next season.
"The Renegades have played an important role in the Marvel Stadium's evolution as a 365-day venue, and we wish the club every success.”
"Cricket at the MCG is synonymous with summer in Melbourne and we're excited to bring Renegades home matches to one of the world's great sporting venues," Melbourne Renegades General Manager, Max Abbott said.
"Last season's Melbourne Derby attracted more than 68,000 fans to the MCG and we're excited by the opportunity to create more occasions like that for fans, albeit with the ground turned red!”
"While this is the beginning of a new era, I also want to acknowledge and thank everyone at Marvel Stadium. The venue has been a huge part of the Renegades' DNA, providing our home for the past 15 years and hosting so many memorable moments. It’s a world-class venue and will always hold a special place in the club's journey.”
