MELBOURNE, VICTORIA Telstra Dome

Capacity: 55,020 Home team: Essendon FC, St Kilda FC Other info: Used to be known as the Colonial Stadium Enlarge Image

Nothing gets my juices flowing like watching a game of AFL or cricket here.

And it's even better when the juice is VB, Victoria's local drop and Davo's beer of choice.

Melbourne's Aussie Rules-mad fans will have to get used to a different-shaped egg come the World Cup.

That won't be a problem as they're the most sport-crazy fans I've seen anywhere in the world.

The 'Dome' did a good job to host the first indoor rugby Test against South Africa, and I reckon they should shut the roof again.

Knowing Melbourne weather, they won't have a choice.
