Hiukka Stadium ({{langx|fi|Hiukan pesäpallostadion}}), known as Marjex Stadium ({{langx|fi|Marjex Stadion}}) for sponsorship reasons, is a pesäpallo stadium located in Sotkamo, Finland. Since its opening in 1946, it has been the home field of the Sotkamon Jymy, a Superpesis team.{{cite web |title= Marjex Stadion, Sotkamo |publisher= Superpesis |url = https://www.superpesis.fi/stadionit/marjex-stadion-sotkamo/ |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230602053740/https://www.superpesis.fi/stadionit/marjex-stadion-sotkamo/ |archive-date=2 June 2023 |access-date=11 July 2024 }}{{cite web | title = Fields | publisher = Finnish Pesäpallo Association | url = https://www.pesis.fi/kilpailu/kentat/ | access-date = 12 July 2024 }}
The Hiukka Stadium is located in the centre of Sotkamo, right on the shore of Sapsojärvi. The former athletics field has been used almost exclusively as a pesäpallo haven since the mid-1990s. The field is known for its purple artificial grass and Hiukka's beach, where the ball can be thrown by mistake.
