Exhibition Place is an outdoor stadium in Kirkenes which is the home ground of professional Kelssek Football League club Kirkenes FC and owned by the City of Kirkenes municipal government. It is located on the shoreline of Inner Harbour and was built on a former agricultural fairgrounds site. It is also the primary home venue for the Kelssek national football team and hosts approximately one third of its home matches in rotation with other stadiums.

Originally built with a capacity of 22,000, an expansion project completed eight years later added roofs over the stands and added seating to bring the capacity to 38,675 including a standing section of 3,200 on the southwestern corner section. The playing surface is a hybrid natural turf combined with artificial fibres.
