Trivia

Earlier, the slope area of the field from the south-east to the north-west was used as the helicopter landing place until the casualty department was built there.

Located in Chelmsford, Essex, the County Cricket Ground is home to the Essex County cricket club. It has also been referred to as the 'Fortress Chelmsford'. The arena has a double-decker seating area along with executive suites and marquees. The Ford Motor Company had the naming rights of the ground from 2005 to 2013.
