Hyvinkään Tahko

Pihkala Stadium is a pesäpallo stadium located in Hyvinkää, Finland. Since its opening it has been the home field of the Hyvinkään Tahko, a Superpesis team.[1][2]

The Pihkala Stadium is one of the most spacious pesäpallo fields. The field is sometimes playfully referred to as an airport because the ball is a long way away when it goes through either side. If the ball has rolled to the mythical transformer behind the deep right corner, it often means the clang of a home run bell.[1]
