The Great Southern Stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is to be overhauled.
Victorian Premier John Brumby detailed plans to upgrade key parts of the ground as part of a new deal for the MCG explaining that a scoping study would be conducted into revitalising entry points, improve ticketing and upgrade food and beverage areas.
The study is also to investigate replacing and upgrading seating and refurbishing function and dining rooms.
Premier Brumby explained "the MCG is the spiritual home of football and this new arrangement, brokered by our Government, will help secure the future for Victorian AFL clubs."
The Victorian Government has committed $30 million to the project.
The Great Southern Stand opened in 1992 and cost $150 million.
