Waterfront Dome is a multi-purpose stadium in central Kirkenes. With a capacity of over 73,000, it is the largest stadium with a retractable roof in Kelssek as well as the country's second-largest spectator capacity (after Stade Outineau). The current building was completed in 182 FE, after a four-year demolition and construction project costing over τ469 million, entirely replacing the original structure built in 149. The stadium's construction was funded by its owner, Northcoast Telecoms. In 190 FE, it sold the ownership to the Noua Cymru public employees pension fund.

The Dome's major tenants are Rugby Superleague team Kirkenes Crusaders. The football club Kirkenes FC also plays high-demand home matches here, most notably its rivalry matches against CF Outineau and Burnaby SC. It also hosted the 10th Patriotes Cup final and matches in Cup of Harmony 77.
