Dominating the parkland between Torrens Lake and St. Peter's Cathedral lies the Adelaide Oval, often lauded as one of the most scenic cricket grounds in the world. The first test match played here was between Australia and England in 1884. Since that time, the ground has been used for other sports such as rugby and Australian football. The distinctive Victor Richardson and Clarrie Grimmett gates add special character to the cricket ground, while the splendid old scoreboard dates back to Edwardian times. Though it is widely regarded as a sacred ground for cricket, Adelaide Oval has also hosted big-ticket concerts, where artists like Ed Sheeran, Adele and Foo Fighters have performed in the past.
