[edit] Biography
The Rose Bowl is an English cricket stadium used for county and One-day International matches. It is situated at West End, Hampshire near Southampton, and is home to Hampshire County Cricket Club. It is a recently built venue set into an ampitheatre creating a bowl, hence the name. It is one of two new county headquarters built in England in recent years, the first for many decades, the other being Durham's ground at Chester-le-Street. Like Durham's ground the Rose Bowl has been allocated a few England international matches and in 2006 it is hosting a Twenty20 international against Sri Lanka and a one day international against Pakistan. The capacity is over 9,000 and the ends are called the Pavilion End and the Northern End.
The Rose Bowl also acts as a venue for conferences and concerts. Recent acts to have performed at the Rose Bowl include Oasis.
