As it is located on the sloping hill, the structure of the ground resulted in an amphitheater bowl. Due to this bowl-shaped structure along with the Hampshire County Cricket Club's logo (having crown and rose), the name of the stadium was announced as the "Rose Bowl".
Also known as the
Ageas Bowl for sponsorship reasons, the
Rose Bowl is the home ground of
Hampshire County Cricket Club since its establishment in
2001. Located between the
Telegraph Woods and the
M27 motorway, the ground has hosted many international matches since its inception.
RB Sport & Leisure Holdings PLC owns the ground. The construction to build the place as a beautiful cricket ground was initiated in
1997; being designed by
Sir Michael Hopkins, English architect.
