Kauppi Stadium (Finnish: Kaupin pesäpallostadion) is a pesäpallo stadium located in Tampere, Finland. Since its opening in 2022, it has been the home field of the Manse PP, a Superpesis team.[2][3]
Kauppi Stadium is located in the Kauppi Sports Park. The seats are tightly crowded and located very close to the field. The back field overlooks a wooded landscape.[2]
Though the stadium renovation was designed in part to hold temporary extra stands by the left and right outer fields,[4] they have generally not been put into use even during the 2024 men's Superpesis final,[5] resulting in the left and right baselines extending much further at 90° angles than what is common for pesäpallo, making the shape of the inner half of the field slightly closer to international baseball.
The stadium also hosts cross-country skiing events on national or regional level,[6] connecting to nearby trails to form laps.
