Last year I went to the 1st Test of the Australia V South Africa series at the Gabba. I originally had tickets for Day 2 but unfortunately the wet tropical weather in Queensland put a stop to that!
I ended up going to Day 4 and witnessed Ed Cowan and Michael Clark smash the South African bowlers all over the park...sadly it was the only time in the series we did it.
I took my 70-200mm Lens (which is he biggest allowed into the Gabba) and after three separate run-ins with Staff and security who didn't even know the Gabba's lens policy...I managed to take a few shots.
If you're heading to a major sporting event you should check the sporting codes and the ground policies on taking camera equipment into the venue.
