The Shore Field (Finnish: Rantakenttä) is a pesäpallo stadium located in Kitee, Finland. Since its opening it has been the home field of the Kiteen Pallo -90, a Superpesis team.[1][2]
The Shore Field is located on the shore of Kiteenjärvi. In addition to the nearby lakeside field, the field is characterised by the alders located very close to the field.[1]
The stadium also hosted a Nightwish concert in June 2023.[3]
