- Candlestick Park Tour - March 21st / August 29th 2014 - I attended the Candlestick Park Tours twice and captured a lot of video. I was debating what to share with the world. I finally decided that the stories our tour guide Doc (for both tours) shared would be worth preserving. After all, once Candlestick Park is demolished, all that will remain is the written history and the verbal history of the fans. The written history (1989 Earthquake, Beatles, etc) will always be there but the verbal history isn't always preserved. Thus, I am preserving some of Doc's stories here for future generations to enjoy! Apologies for the darkness in the 49er Locker Room in the second half of the video. My camera had no screen so I didn't realize. I did my best to brighten it up a bit. :)

I miss this place dearly, so many wonderful memories❤️✨
We went on the very last Candlestick Tour in August 2014, it was so awesome! We didn't have this guy as the tour guide, we had a really good young Woman as our guide.
Thanks a lot for uploading this very memorable piece of candlestick history!
rkoviper04 - :) Hope you enjoyed the video. I chopped up all of the footage. :)
I was on that tour! it's me in the Montana jersey
Kind of an interesting fact about the Niners lockerroom during baseball season when the end of the MLB season would overlap with the start of the NFL season. Kind of trippy that the Niners had to move their lockerroom because that same area was used as the Giants clubhouse during baseball season. LOL. I never knew that.
Would be cool one day to get a picture of that. The Niners lockerroom mixed with the Giants clubhouse in that same room in like an August or September when the MLB and NFL seasons overlap.
I went on the tour twice. Interesting history.
That kid....omg
Yeah, that kid did get annoying on the first tour. I know people want to take their kids out to stuff like this, but kids may not be able to handle events like this all the time.
A guy with a RAIDERS hat???? WTF?!
David Lajon Raiders played at Candlestick before the 49ers in 1961
RAIDERS!!!
I see everyone are wearing Red and nobody is wearing Black and Orange
I think one lady had a Giants hat on. LOL... To be fair, I think this was more of a Niners Candlestick Park tour, even though there were some Giants tidbits mixed in.
a Roman's coliseum
This guy must have OD'd on Mr. Rogers, pon-der-ous.
I know facts aren't important there, but...
Ra-dirts left windy-stick for a temporary field named for an undertaker (fitting for
Oakland) before moving to the mausoleum which will outlive the mistake on
'da bay.
Only reason the 'stick was enclosed was due to NFL mandate that all new
stadiums in the 60's/70's had to hold at least 50K.
Tittle did wear an experimental plexiglass face mask with the phony9'ers.
The NYC/Manhattan seals came from the facade of the West Side elevated
highway, when it was torn down they were removed from the structure and
sold to the public.
SuperBowl I was carried by NBC/CBS, never happened since.
9'ers did use a partitioned section of the Gi-ants clubhouse, the black lockers replaced the originals after the Gi-ants moved out. Area with the stairs was the Gi-ants trainer's area when the 'Stick opened.
The red lockers he points out were added after the Gi-ants moved, they
are for staff not players.
NFC "N" logo in the clubhouse is upside down.
Carpeting in the runway from clubhouse is 90's vintage industrial peel'n'press, the reason the walkway had a low ceiling was that it ran under the stands to
the 1st base dugout. The "victory mold" certianly wasn't from the Gi-ants.
"Pope Mobile" wasn't a converted golf cart, it was a small Mercedes Benz truck
with the protective canopy in the bed.
BTW - it wouldn't have fit in that walkway between the clubhouses. JPII entered
and left through the service gate behind the right field foul pole.
Check vid on YT - Pope John Paul II at Candlestick Park, San Francisco, 1987
It's pre-stressed and REINFORCED concrete.
One thing he did get right was that the movable stands were not serviceable,
but there were many more financial/logistics reasons why the Gi-ants had
no interest in an expensive one-off there.
As ol' Casey used to say, "...you can look it up..."
The guy doing the tour is as funny as paste. quarterback sacker? Geez i always thought they sacked the kicker haha. I'm pretty sure people came there to get a tour and a little history of the stadium and this dork spends all their time explaining each picture in the building. WTF Did he even mention Willie Mays once. "We know its the second super bowl against Cincinnati because its on grass"???? How about the fact that the 49ers are wearing their home uniform etc etc. WTF
Yeah, the guy was kind of a dry tour guide. He had some good facts, but he just didn't have the personality.
