Margaret Court Arena

Margaret Court Arena (MCA) is the third retractable-roof stadium at Melbourne Park.

'Show Court One' was built in 1988, the year the Australian Open Grand Slam tournament moved from Kooyong to its current home at Melbourne Park.

The court was officially re-named 'Margaret Court Arena' (MCA) as a tribute to Australia's most successful female tennis player on the eve of the 2003 Australian Open Tennis Championship (12 January 2003).

With the capacity increased from 6,000 of 7,500, the redeveloped MCA features a state-of-the-art retractable roof - the fastest of its kind in the world, opening or closing in just five minutes

Entertainment

MCA is an exciting new addition to Melbourne's live music scene, hosting a wide variety of local and international acts.
