## Resource

Melbourne’s been battered by cost of living, potholes, and crime—but then the NFL dropped a bomb: Rams vs. 49ers at the MCG. It was electric, a massive shot in the arm for the city, with American stars marveling at local cafes, reporters geeking out over Vegemite, and even players attending Mass with Melbourne’s Archbishop. Officials say it’s a $tens-of-millions economic win, cementing Melbourne as a global hub. And after years of pandemic fatigue, figures like Eddie McGuire see it as the return of our vibrant spirit—proof we’re ready for more big events to come.
