Well. Im a young uni student, havent been to a match since the last Queens birthday match the Dees won! Im from ballarat and I have a father who hates football, So going to see the footy was a rarity! The only footy fix I get is some rare TV footage and internet/DEMONLAND!

I want to go to the essendon v demons match earlier so I can treat my lovely girlfriend to some place nice for food. Are there any places near the MCG i could take her? and creative ideas??

Also just a general question, prefered section to sit for generall admittance?

Cheers :D

Good to hear you're getting down to the game.

It's hard to recommend something without an idea of what sort of food/budget you're after, but if you want to get something fairly close to the 'G you might want to try something at Federation Square since it's a reasonably short walk to the ground, and you can also catch a tram. I don't recommend Time Out, but Il Pomodoro is quite decent: http://www.fedsquare.com/index.cfm?pageID=330

Obviously there are a bunch of places in the city (ie. Hardware Lane) or you could go to Southbank - La Camera - http://www.lacamerasouthgate.com/ - is also quite decent. You could also consider something in Richmond - Swan St, Bridge Rd, etc.

Thankyou heaps Rouge! Unfortunatly she was violently ill so we didnt go (Crying on the inside). BUT, Queens birthday here I come. I'll look into all the info you gave me, and NOT organise something on the day... Cheers!
