Tram straight from the city on Elizabeth St (can't remember the line number). It's only a few blocks from MelUni.

I think it's stop 15 or 16 on Route 19.  That route passes about 100 metres from the ground.  Heading north the tram passes the west side of Melbourne Uni/Royal Melbourne Hospital, then passes the colleges, then passes a few soccer fields, then it's MC Labour Park/Princes Park.
