Candlestick Park: The LAST Photos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2021
- Did you know: The Oakland Raiders called Candlestick Park home before the 49ers ever did? Or that it featured Astroturf for 8 years? Or that a baseball scoreboard stayed hidden and intact for 13 years even after the Giants left?
These are my final photos from Candlestick park in December 2013, to go along with some interesting facts about the stadium you may never have known before.

I used to look at Candlestick Park’s lights almost every night from my Grandparents, The Scurrys, kitchen window. I could hear the crowd cheer too. My Big Daddy CJ and I spent a lot of days there for San Francisco Giants games. Great memories! #BVHP #FTTB
The plaque at 23:03 was moved to Oracle Park shortly after the Stick was demolished. It's on display near the Lefty O'Doul gate.
The nostalgia has got to me!
I really wish Levi was on the spot of Candlestick. I enjoy the Niners in the South Bay but we're not the Santa Clara 49ers!!
No need to be. The LA Rams were the LA Rams in Anaheim for fifteen seasons, and it's 30 miles south of LA. Dallas Cowboys play 20 miles from Dallas. The Detroit Piston play 30 miles from Detroit. They can become the San Francisco Bay Area 49ers, I guess. I want someone to take them from York, get a new stadium built in that industrial wasteland area between the old Bayshore Highway and 101 just to the south of Candlestick Point, near Caltrain Bayshore stop and Sunnydale Muni stop.
Well, also, people say that SF is forty miles from Levi's, but I beg to differ. San Francisco International Airport is actually in San Francisco, though in San Mateo County. SF cops patrol it, not Burlingame or Milbrae. The airport is San Francisco municipal property. That would make Levi's about 32 miles south of there.
Brought back so many memories and getting to see my old season ticket section caused me to pause your video a few times. I can remember the wind blowing thru my section and the roar from the crowd. I will always have a special spot in my heart for candlestick.
thanks for finding this!
So many memories watching this (and learned a lot too). Remember my parents loved buying tickets in that right field Pavilion section (not my favorite seats ever) for Giants games in the 90's. Glad I got to experience this stadium quite a bit as a kid before both teams left, even if the stadium had a lot of issues. I was able to get tickets to the Paul McCartney concert before they tore it down. Definitely was a bucket list moment for me and a really fun night.
Thank you for this video....9er since 81 Candlestick had a unique and special place in my heart and will always be so. Thank you. GO 9ERS!!
That was truly a fantastic retrospect! Thanks so much!
My lucky day to come across this gem and learn some facts as well!. Thanks for the great memories...Countless trips from Reno to The Stck...1984 All Star game sitting 5 rows behind the plate with Fernando's wife and his agent seated next to me...Still cherish my croix de candlestick buttons...Sometimes newer is not better.
A lot of great memories here.I saw my first Giants game in the early seventies.Thanks for posting all of these great pictures!!!
I miss Candlestick😢
Omg thank you for the memory I was game day security for CSC I got to work most of the last season at the stick including the last game December 23rd 2013 this was fun to watch :) thank you
I remember camping out in the parking lot of The Stick. Back in the early 80's for 49ers playoff games. Boy it was cold. And going to Giants games as a kid. I might sound crazy but I miss it☹️
I remember going after every game to players parking lot and waiting for Jerry Rice,Jesse Sapolo, Ken Norton, etc etc. I'm 73 now and still remember listening to my transistor radio the Giants....miss the Ole Gal😢😢😢😢😢
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Brodie.
The First Base Dugout was the Giants. Tidbit about Astroturf. Once they tore it out at Candlecrap, they moved it to the Alameda County Fairgrounds. Some of the exhibition buildings at the Fairgrounds had turf inside. The Turf was faded after the 4th season of use. Was at the October 17, 1989 game, I saw that guy climbing up the light tower to fix the streamers that were attached to the light towers. The noise those towers made when the quake started was so weird. I'll never forget that day. There are a few fan videos of the aftermath of the quake. I'll always remember right after the Quake hit, Everyone cheered! But once it got harder and harder they all stopped and almost panicked. After it was over the P.A played the evacuation video that played before each game. I asked my Girlfriend if the Quake constituted an emergency? She didn't think that was too funny. We were sitting in dead center field upper box 61 Row 1. As we exited we had to go up to get out and saw a man walking down the steps holding a baby size piece of concrete. I asked him where he got that? He said it fell on his seat from the roof! We both lived in Cherryland near you. It took us 5 hours to get home....
Saints fan here:
Love this video. As a rival fan I remember all those old NFC West divisonal games at the Stick.
The first team I respectfully hated as a kid was the 49ers in the 90's. Rice, Montana, Lott & company were so, so dominant. Man this brings back foundational football memories.
Gone but never forgotten
I remember this catch. I was 12. It cemented me as a 49ers fan. Wherever that spot ends up, and I hope it’s a home, that the residents know the holy ground upon which they sleep.
This was awesome. Nostalgia at its finest
The Stick was rickety af but I have so many great memories.
Always liked Candlestick, just like I will always love the Coliseum. Too much history in these stadiums.
Brodie, you can see the astroturf at Candlestick if you watch the Clint Eastwood movie, The Enforcer. There was actually a Giants game being played during the filming.
The last full Beatles concert took place on my birthday. I love it!
I’m a Hawks fan, but I miss the stick.
Great job Brodie. Love the photos and memories
I'm going to be very sad that day my Buffalo Bills leave Rich Stadium it's been our home since 1973 so many memories mostly bad but so many good
Can’t believe it’s been almost 10 years since candlestick has been demolished. Such a legendary stadium. The vibe was buzzing and passionate. Complete flabbergast that Levi is almost hour away from San Fran. I wasn’t impressed with it.
Great job with this Brodie
thank you!
I think the lights were so tall because of the bay fog that would roll in so that proper light would pre-vade onto the field
Great video, thank you for sharing!
I'll never get to see it in person. So it's good this video is here.
Cool little fact here, the old giants scoreboard was still there because they could not get a crane under the seats to move it out and could not move the seats out like they did for baseball season because the movement rig was broken and never revived.
Consider yourself a very lucky man. As a Falcons fan I have very little to be proud of.
That bench you were wondering it was I heard it's in Santa Clara now
I have to correct you: Clark’s catch was in the back of the end zone (at that time the was a white circle with the NFL logo here), the spot is about where you’re standing to take this photo instead.
Excellent photos. Thanks
So many great memories in that stadium. But I got to say the restroom situation was horrendous. They were too small, and there wasn’t enough of them, and they always looked old and dirty.
Enjoyed this, and many memories of Giants games attended. One fact (baseball) overlooked is always thought interesting only stadium in league where visitor dugout was bare bones and NO tunnel to clubhouse. Out on island! I guess at one point league forced Giants to add a restroom for visitor dugout. I'm sure opposing teams hated having long walk from dugout to right field line to clubhouse. Home dugout was warming also from heat from tunnel...
Thank you for this.... As a kid growing up in the 90s I loved going to Giants games at the Stick. Question for you (or anyone who might see this)... I was always under the impression that the press box down what would have been the LF line was for football and that there was one behind home plate that was for baseball. Was this not the case? Just thinking that that would have been a weird angle for the Giants broadcasters. Appreciate any history you can shed.
The 49ers website has a history on Tony Morabito if anyone is interested. Just a heads up
The bench you were speaking of that used to sit KEISAR and CANDLESTICK I believe it is in the North Beach, Washington Square playground or park right across the street from mamas and Legaria bakery BEST FACCOSA Bread on the planet The next time you’ll probably be tomorrow that I’m in North Beach. I’ll take a picture and see if it is the same bench. Funny I watched your podcast today and was there with my son last night drinking beer right there sitting on some park benches across the way from it, the bench that is anyways great podcast level CANDLESTICK stories I’m 62 myself, and went there for the better part of from five years old on
I went there when I was a Cub Scout, and our group went there and watched Willie Mays and Willie McCovey play. Yes, I am old and retired. They always ruin a good thing. They could have rebuilt it for what they paid for the new one.
I went to an East-West College football game in the 1970's. Guess you could argue it was an exhibition but it was college football
love this!
The Giants didn't "eventually" move into Candlestick. It was built for them. That was the best version. Open to the Bay with the right field bleachers but with plenty of room to walk behind the right field fence and wrestle with other kids for a home run ball. Also, the open area behind the left field fence you could jump into to try and get a hone run ball.
Reminds me of RFK stadium. Both shit holes, but legendary stadiums with so much history & winning in them
Lol Great knowledge👏🏾❤️
Hey Brodie I remember you from announcing at the shark games!!
Section 3, Row H Seats 11-12! My 49er seats are now in my living room.
I need to know what happened with the bench…Awesome video though! Thanks for sharing!
Metallica played there in 2003 it was my first concert
I was there.
It was the worst Astro turf ever. Literally hard as the cement that was under it, the padding was not padding at all just a thin layer of fabric backing the turf.
I miss the Stick.
Candlestick had its memories for the 49ers. But Levi’s stadium shits on Candlestick lol
Great vid btw
Any one know were bench went to?
Man I wish Candlestick hosted a Wrestlemania before she was torn down🙁🙁
The Giants were there first. You didn't know that?
I always surprise Raider fans with that fact, that their first two seasons, they had no place to play in the East Bay, and San Francisco gladly hosted them for two seasons, 1960 and '61. There are plenty of photos on the Internet, and they're wearing black helmets, and black jerseys and white pants, with gold trim. One finds a vid clip of a Charger v Raider game at Candlestick in their 1961 highlight film, and it's on YT. The gridiron was laid out exactly as it would again in 1971 when the 49ers moved in. Right field bleacher seating was on that east sideline.
I was at last game section 231
We lived not to far away. Lol Beyond it’s time just like the Oakland coliseum .
As a Saints fan I really dislike the 49rs! But it was a great name for a stadium.
You could even park your boats across
Did the Oakland Raiders really play one season at Candlestick??? What was their record that year???
Should have torn it down, let the Niners play at Stanford for a season or 2 and rebuild a new improved stadium right there.
Motor home park
When the Giants played there,as it was built for them.all baseball hated the place.thats way the giants never won except for two penants .nobody wanted to play there.being from n.y, I was there twice and thought it was dump
Every time the Mets where on t.v from there . The broadcasters would always mention the wind the cold and attendance at night games was pitifully.
Hey folks,I gotta video of what Candlestick looks right now,,check it out...
...eventually the Giants came in ....??
Candlestick > Levi’s
Candlestick Park was a dump but it was ours
Tailgateing
That place was a dump anyway. I went only once to attend the Summer Sanitarium tour back in 2003. I was walking around checking out the stadium during the in between band changes and could see why the Niners were lobbying for a new facility. The new one should’ve got built way sooner but I get politics and the front office team eff’d it all up.
Candlestick was a dump, but it had character, something Levi's can't say it has
Yea it was a dump but it was still iconic and had many great moments
@@sto1238 Big W especially from a raider fan
@@CumLordGary I’m a Bay Area native Candlestick is an important part of the area regardless of team affiliation
It may have been a dump, but it was our dump. Go Niners.
Candlestick should have been turned into a mega homeless complex for all the Bay Area Homeless, saving taxpayers billions
😂
@@anadofficial - And yet the stupid city tore it down because they wanted them on the streets of the city instead of a place that would have been perfect for them. SMH!
Jesus is the only way into Heaven turn from your worldly ways ask Him into your life cleanse you from ALL unrighteousness make Him your Lord & your Savior one day YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
“Woe to you o’ Earth and Sea… for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short… Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number. It’s number is six hundred and sixty six.”
In the 60s and 70s, there were lots of Niner fans that were also Raider fans. Also, issues at The Stick was why Stanford got the Super Bowl in '84, which we won handily. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XIX
Al Davis was such a narcissist that he did not have the Raiders play in their 1960 uniforms during the 2010 season, when the old original AFL teams wore throwback uniforms. He had them play in their 1963 unis. Sucked! But Davis was the NFL's version of Demented Donnie, the former guy.
