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]
