£40m scheme for Rose Bowl site
5:30am Friday 4th January 2008
PLANS have been submitted to transform the home of Hampshire cricket into a 'Super Bowl'.
A new 18-hole golf course and clubhouse, a 175 bed four-storey hotel, conference rooms, a restaurant and bar and spa leisure facilities are among the proposals for the 160-acre Rose Bowl site.
The ground itself would be transformed with new covered stands to include permanent and temporary seating for up to 25,000 spectators and a state of the art media centre in the North Stand.
Rose Bowl chiefs say they have also included improved access routes in the plans to ease traffic congestion in the area.
Members of the public can submit their comments to Eastleigh Council until January 25.
