The Rampart Field is located in the heart of Hamina Fortress, right next to the ramparts of the central bastion. Despite this, the pitch is set up in such a way that there is plenty of room for through balls.^[1]

City of Hamina has a named street to the Rampart Field after the club's greatest legend, Kari Lindberg.^[2]

The stadium has no covered seats as of November 2024, the only such team in the men's 2025 Superpesis season.^[4][5] Renovation costs planned for 2026–27 in order to meet new league requirements for covered seats were estimated at €2.6 million, of which €800,000 were earmarked from the city budgets, with the club struggling to find financing for the rest of the cost.^[6]
