Exhibition Place is an outdoor stadium in Kirkenes which is the home ground of professional Kelssek Football League club Kirkenes FC. It is located on the shoreline of Inner Harbour, part of the grounds of the annual Kelssek National Exhibition. 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 in 2007 with a capacity of 22,000, an expansion project completed in 2015 added roofs over the stands and added seating to bring the capacity to 38,600 including a standing section of 3,200 on the southwestern corner section.
