- Yesterday, I visited the location of the legendary Candlestick Park, former home of the San Francisco 49ers and Giants as well as the Raiders for a short period of time.
Also, when I said 2012 NFC Championship game, I meant the 2011 season NFC Championship game which took place in January of 2012.

I understand why but this is so sad that legendary stadiums has to be demolished… as a French Raider fan for 32 years, i’m proud to had the chance to watch the Niners beat the Giants in the 2011 regular season game in Candelstick Park, great memories !!!
Ya it really sucks. Driving past and not seeing the stadium there is not the same. I’m just happy I got to enjoy the games that I did go to at Candlestick.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks must be like Qualcomm getting demolished for us in San Diego, I never got to experience it but I watched the team my grandpa was a rugby hooker for, OMBAC RFC at a smaller field called the Little Q when I was younger, those were fun times hanging out with his Ocean Beach buddies and watching rugby
@@Padre619 Definitely! Once you would drive into San Francisco from the south, Candlestick used to be the first thing you would see so it's crazy that it's not there anymore. I bet those are some great memories though that you will always cherish!
Let's all get together and demand that the NINERS build a state of art stadium 🏟️🏟️ right now that dump in Santa Clara sucks.the NINERS were born in San Francisco ..and they should play here ..so many memories here ..I was at the last game ..not a dry eye to be found..god bless the San Francisco FORTY NINERS
I agree! I was at the last game too and what a memory. Levi’s is nice and all but it’s not San Francisco. Definitely wish they would have never left!
Yeah, good luck with that. 👍🏼
@@therealmistahjay lol right, as long as the yorks own them they will never move. and even a new owner would never start a rebuild rn. it would take a dedicated 49er fan who was also worth 10s of billions to make it happen.
That would take taking away the team from York. I'd be all for it. Levi's is nothing but an erector set of a park, and some good earthquake would have it tumbling down. Same for the redone Stanford Stadium. Let some expansion team have Levi's. Better yet, it can still be used for many events, just not the 49ers home games. Also, the Packers for years played in Green Bay and Millwaukee. There's no reason the 49ers couldn't play in SF and Santa Clara, split the schedule in both towns.
@@Vakator-29 Yeah, and I don't know if Larry Ellison or Mark Zuckerberg would put up the $! They could, they have the $. So does the Giants owner, Johnson. But he's as cheap as the A's owners.
Getting in and out of candle stick park was aweful! That being said I miss the stadium!!
Haha you're not lying. Definitely wasn't fun getting out if you were driving. Like you said though, I miss it nonetheless.
I used to live relatively close to the area( Visitation Valley) back in the day, and assisted to couple of Giants games held at the candlestick. You could sense history inside those walls. Sad to hear about the demolition. Great upload mate!
Thanks bro! I also used to live close (Bernal Heights) and got to go to four 49ers games there and one Giants games. I definitely wish the stadium was still there. I used to love driving into the city and first thing you would see to the right side was Candlestick.
Legend says , sometimes youll hear the crowd roar late at night 😢🎉
I’m a Cowboys fan. I was there for the 1993 and 95 NFC championship games. It was a really cool place!!
Nice! I was lucky enough to go to two playoff games there. I wish it was still there!
@@BayAreaThrowbacks I feel the same way about Texas Stadium. These new stadiums are beautiful but the games were so different in the older days.
@@charliepruenca7480 I feel you! Don’t get me wrong, Levi’s is definitely nicer than Candlestick but it doesn’t have that same feel.
Born and raised in Hawaii and I’m glad to say I got to attend 1 game in candlestick back in the early 90’s been and 9er fan since the 80’s and I’m ready for another super bowl win 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I love it! It’s too bad it’s not still around for us to go to more games but the memories remain. Keep repping on the islands!! I’m excited to see what we do this weekend.
Very sad to watch this video😢.I was a season ticket holder during the 80s Montana ;Rice and Young era. My seats were in section 46 above the north endzone. Was there for the moonbeams to Clark 'The Catch'.I yelled out 'There's Clark hit him'.Very serial moment. Went to Giants games to see Willie May's and Stretch Willie Macovy. .😀👍⚾
Ya, it is very depressing seeing what it is now. At least it seems like you have a lot of great memories there and got to spend a lot of time enjoying Candlestick!
I lived in the Candlestick Cove housing projects during construction of the Stick (1958~1964). Was an amazing sight watching construction vehicles and development of it all.
I have an idea: the 49ers rebuild Candlestick Park and leave Levi's for some expansion NFL team. Bring back all the trophies and stuff in the 49er Museum at Levi's to a rebuilt for football Candlestick Park. There is another site, though, right between US 101 and the Bayshore Highway, where there is plenty of land sitting there unused, just south of the SF border with Daly City, near the Cow Palace. It would be next to Caltrain and Sunnydale's Muni! No need to drive to the game.
Hmm, that idea about the empty land near Cow Palace would be really cool honestly. Unfortunately, I don't see a new 49ers stadium being built anytime soon.
Levi StDium for the A's. Reconfigure the field for baseball.
Stupid idea. Not funny either.
Very sad, when I was a kid I use to go through the 101 and I’d always see the Candlestick Park all the time. Moved to the islands, came back and visited SF 12 years later. Broke my heart not to see Candlestick Park. Also, lived in Potrero Hill as well, and it’s crazy to go up Connecticut St. at the top and not see Candlestick Park.
I say it all the time! Driving into the city from 101 is not the same now that you don't see Candlestick to the right of you. I used to live in Bernal Heights so when my cousin and I used to sneak onto the roof of the house we were able to see Candlestick as well. Great times bro!
@@BayAreaThrowbacks I know Bernal Heights. My GF lives there. The big hill west of Candlestick blocks the view from Bernal. What street? Not Folsom! Not Banks! Not Eugenia! No view from those streets. Maybe up on the top of Bernal Hill?
@@ldfreitas9437 Hey! I lived on Moultrie right down the block from Cortland. If I stood on the roof of the back of our house, I could see the top of Candlestick.
Everyone is talking about how sad it is to see it gone but I went to a game in 2011 it was the 49ers vs Seahawks and that was the game where they clinched the NFC west well anyway I remember the stadium was run down pretty bad, the bathrooms were a nightmare I mean the toilets were filthy, there was an inch of water on the floor like if a pipe had burst. Overall it was really beat up, and unless the 49ers were going to completely remodel the entire stadium, the demo had to be done.
born in CA but have grown up in the south. always wanted to see a game there as a kid but never got to. makes me sad
Damn I’m sorry you never had a chance to go there. I was lucky enough to go to five games there (4 49ers and 1 Giants) and it was definitely fun.
so sad, i used to take the 15 muni on 3rd to gilman and walked to candlestick back in 1988 to watch the SF Giants as a 13 years old kid in the summer. SF 49ers were too expensive back then during the joe montana years. I only attended one game at the stick, against teh dirty bird falcons, the jamal anderson year.
Damn thanks for the story! I used to take the 14/49 to Persia and Mission and take the 29 to the Stick. It would be a lot of traffic at times so I would just get off the bus and walk once we got closer to the stadium. Haha I remember my cousin used to do that Jamal Anderson dirty bird dance.
Thanks for this brother! I drove up there about 3 years ago and it was freaking sad. Good memories there!
Of course! And ya I feel you. Living in So Cal now, every time I go up I make sure to drive by and it just seems that every time I go back, even more is gone, not that there's much left at this point anyway.
Wow bro, I did the same visit to Kezar years ago and that was sad enough. The stick will always hold some great memories for anyone whoever attended a game there!
Ya, it is really sad and crazy just seeing that area empty with no more stadium. Definitely have some great memories there!
Kezar was great. I saw the 49ers play there in the late 60s, John Brodie and all. Rams game. I will never forget it, but I didn't buy a program. I found the highlight film here on TH-cam, downloaded it, and put it on a DVD.
Awesome bro! Love that place and to this day wish they would have kept the stadium there. Santa Clara is nice but its hot as hell. Miss the cool breeze from the bay.
Thanks bro! Ya, I definitely miss Candlestick. Levi's is nice but it's not The Stick. Unfortunately I don't think Levi's will ever have that feel that Candlestick did but I'm just happy I got to go to some big time games there and have the memories.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks Totally agree. They should have kept the stadium right there in Candlestick. The York CEO, or whatever you call them, really screwed this one up.
It hasn't happened yet, but some day it's going to be very cold in Santa Clara for a game, probably at night in December. They really haven't had that yet. I went to a game in December of 2017, and it was freezing in the shade, and hot in the sun. If it had been cloudy, it would have been cold in the sun as well I'm sure. There's only been one rainy game at Levi's yet too. Kezar had plenty of cold and rainy days, and so did Candlestick. Heck, it wasn't unusual for upper 40s for late season games at Kezar.
First of all, dope jersey man. I thought they were turning this parcel into a major mixed use project. Apartments/ entertainment/ shopping.
Thanks bro! Ya that's what they were saying for the longest but I haven't seen any of that happening as of recently.
Went to several 49ers games but what I remember most is the battle of the bay and the earthquake that took place that day during the World Series.
Ya that was a pretty insane thing to happen, especially right before a World Series game where both teams are the two bay teams. Luckily The Stick kept the people that were inside safe for the most part.
I went to that Alex Smith to Vernon Davis playoff game. Also went to mike vicks 1st game ever it was a preseason game back in 2001 I believe
Damn that was one of the craziest games I ever saw. That's dope that you got to be there! I was at the next game where they unfortunately got knocked out by the New York Giants. That's insane that you also got to see Vick for the first time in an NFL jersey!
@@BayAreaThrowbacks I was seated by the end zone where Vernon scored. Everyone was chanting “Alex” when it was over. I think that was the game where future did Tony Montana 😂 at halftime. I probably went to like 10 games there starting in 2001 until it closed. The only thing I like about Levi’s is that it’s closer to my home and it’s easier to leave after games. Have a good day man. Great video
@@imthebest7290 Thank you! Damn so you had one of the best spots in the house! Haha ya Future was performing Tony Montana on the kickoffs for the kickoff team since that was their kickoff song. Great times. One thing I can say about Levi's is it does have better weather but I still wish we could still be at Candlestick.
I hear that Candlestick was better than the stadium they play at now, even though the Niners had to share the park with the baseball Giants for most of their history. I have heard a lot of complaints about Levi Stadium, from the distance to the stadium (near San Jose), to too much open area that scolds fans on sunny days in early season games.
Yes, a lot of people are not very happy with the new stadium. They say it's the worst of the new NFL stadiums.
It sucks that it had to be demolished, I really loved going to stick when I was younger and it will forever be our home ❤️💛
I agree! The Stick really did have a great atmosphere.
So much history in that stadium and taken away just like that. Been to a few stadiums, have all 32 stadiums on my bucket list and would've loved to see it in person. Lucky for fans like you and my dad going out there, you guys got to enjoy the stadium and the memories. Dope video!
Did hard Bears fan…even I know how legendary that land is. Should’ve built upon it, new stadium is the worst modern one in the NFL
Ya I wish they could have renovated or something. They said it's on landfill which prevented them from being able to rebuild but it still sucks. Ya, I saw a video explaining how Levi's is the worst new stadium.
Sad. They should have rebuilt it or seriously upgraded it like they did in Miami, KC and Chicago. Now they're the Santa Clara Niners in that fan-unfriendly (unless you're rich) albatross 45 miles away from downtown.
Ya, it sucks. They claim they couldn't rebuild there because that area is landfill.
So sad that I never got to go to Candlestick to watch a Niners game
It was definitely an experience bro. Nothing like it!
@@BayAreaThrowbacks I remember as a kid we use to go to Spartan Stadium in San Jose to play around. Don’t know if it’s still there. It was owned by San Jose State University. Maybe that could be a topic of one of your future videos. Love your channel glad I found it 👍
@@jaymeez Ey thanks for the idea bro! Next time I'm in the bay I have a few old stadiums I want to record at so I definitely might need to add that to the lineup! Thanks for the support!
They were suppose to put up new housing which is why they were leveling the dirt, etc. However, especially during the pandemic, the area is infested with homelessness. There are campers and cars everywhere. The area looks really depressing.
Ya, I remember them talking about housing and also a shopping center. We’ll see what happens. Also you’re correct, the whole street all the way around was lined up with campers. Hopefully they can build up that area eventually and there can be at least a little something commemorating the stadium.
The best sports memory - my best first memory of this place, is going to my first Giants game at this beloved park - Candlestick 😁. I must’ve been in 3rd or 4th grade and I remember us going up the escalator to get on the second level. We approach our section from the concourse and enter through the tunnel/our seating section… I vividly remember walking up the concrete tunnel and into the stadium… it was like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was now looking at the most beautiful green grass baseball field! My very first sports memory of the Giants. What incredible memories this place has for so many… From Giants/Dodgers games with brawls everywhere to our Niners and the dynasty that was Bill Walsh, Joe Montana, Dwight Clark, Fred Dean, Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice, J.T., etc. From my first experience going to my first Giants game as a kid, to growing up in this stadium… I remember cutting class in high school to go watch a day game with buddies and buying bleacher seat tickets for $2.50. Sitting in that sun… great, great memories! Oh how I wish they would’ve rebuilt a stadium for our Niners right on this very spot where “The ‘Stick” stood. Maybe one day, Jed will spend the money to do this. Great memories and nostalgia!
Damn that was amazing to read. The way you described walking out of the tunnel was like a movie scene. Candlestick was definitely legendary. Hopefully in our lifetime we get to see the 49ers in San Francisco again.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks Definitely… that’d be great! Great job on capturing these visual memories - and sadly the now missing ‘Stick from this lot of empty land. Well, it looks like people are using it for home 😀
@@camancho13 Thank you! Ya, there are a lot of people camped there but I went a few months later and they have it even more blocked off where you can't drive around a certain part of the stadium so I think they've been clearing it up.
Candlestick was freaking legendary...John Madden called the 1st Playoff Game with the Niners, & Cowboys, were Dwight Clark made the catch! It's pathetic that this legendary Stadium was torn down. The Chicago Bears, the Packers, & the Chiefs still have their original legendary stadiums. But not SF, because ownership didn't want their team to play in SF anymore.
I also went to Niners & Giants Games at the Stick, & I was on the last Candlestick tour of the Stadium. You could just feel all the history within the walls of Candlestick Park.
Ya, it was definitely legendary! A lot of historic moments and legendary players called Candlestick home between the 49ers and Giants. It definitely sucks that it's tore down, especially since it seems like they aren't putting anything else there anytime soon. Levi's is nice but it's not the same, I'll take old ass Candlestick over Levi's for sure.
Vin Scully and Hank Stram called the NFC Title game in 1982. Just an FYI. No put down intended.
@@tonyb374 Yeah, you're right. To think that the Dodgers announcer made The Catch call on TV, and on radio it was Don Klein on KCBS, as they had the 49er games then, not KGO, not KSFO, so no Lon Simmons, at least until he did the 49ers again in 198 on KGO, so he had the radio call for Taylor's game winning catch in the SB the following season.
You did a great job, great detail.
Thank you! That is much appreciated.
Bay Area History!
Hell ya! Thanks for watching. I'm about to post a video on Kezar Stadium in a few hours.
Thank you all brothers ❤ for showing this 😢 brings strong emotions of my boyhood SF Giants/49ers. I would catch AC Transit In Oakland and From Transbay Terminal ⛴ Muni to The Stick, Yo. In the 1970's as a young curious adventurous teen and no cell phones 📞 to call mommie and let her know Its boys day out which lasted until the evening because i went to the soda fountain after the game waiting for my bus 🔙 to Oakland 🌉.
I imagined by now it would have been 🏘 🏡 🛒 🏩 built ontop of it by now like The Old Denver Stapelton Airport Area. 📰 🎉 🆕 Denver. East.
What happened.
That experience turned into being a public transportation connoisseur 🚍. 😂 My poor man limo and tour in many cities. Like Seattle, Baltimore, Denverland. Etc.
The STICK!! Man I miss this stadium.
Me too! Levi’s is nice but it ain’t the Stick.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks Don't like Levi's. It's in Agnews/Alviso for crissakes!
@@ldfreitas9437 Haha I got you. I will always prefer a city in the city.
It's awesome. It's very nostalgic. I like seeing History and also sports history.
Thank you! I love sports history as well, especially for my teams.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks That old sign in the start of the video with the 49ers logo is nostalgic man. Hopefully they win today. Go 9ers!
@@IrontoughItalian Ya that's pretty much the only thing left to let you know that Candlestick was there. Hell ya! Less than an hour away!
So sad they demolished that beautiful stadium, why not keep it as a historic land mark.
Exactly! They have talked about building housing or a shopping center but none of that has happened. It would be cool if they left it open for tours or do what they did with Kezar and make it a public park.
10 years ago. Bowman to run it back for the last game played.
You know it! Legendary moment.
Yes, many don't know or forget that in the Raider's first two seasons, they played at Kezar and Candlestick in 1960, and Candlestick in 1961. They had no place to play in Oakland, so a San Francisco location was offered by The City. Then comes 1975 and the Oakland Arena isn't available for the Warriors for the 1975 NBA Finals, and they play games 2 and 3 at their former home, the Cow Palace, in front of 13,000. The average attendance at the Oakland Arena that year was less than 9,000. Franklin Mieuli should have kept the Warriors playing at both venues after 1971.
Yes, a lot of people don't know about the Raiders in San Francisco. Thanks for all of this great information though. I didn't know a lot of the stuff you brought up so thank you for teaching me a few things!
We are One BAY 🌉 AREA. I'm telling everybody. 🔊 🕺
@@BayAreaThrowbacksit's 🆗 we were just youngish. 😂
@@ReggieRegenold-uq2bz haha yup!
They should of built 49ers Levi stadium on that same site while they could of played temporarily at the Oakland Coliseum across the bay While being Built now you have to drive 45 miles to Santa Clara just to see a game
Ya, it definitely sucks not having the Niners in the city anymore. I guess part of the reason was that the land that Candlestick was on was landfill so it wouldn't be possible to build on.
Born n raised around Swampy D Visitation Valley went to elementary school at Bret Hart right next door to candlestick then Vis Valley middle n Woodrow Wilson high born in the 60s been a die hard 49er faithful was able to watch all the 5 superbowl we won really miss Candlestick not really feeling the new stadium n hopefully we can get a superbowl there also one year before I leave this earth but if not atleast I was part of the other 5 I'm hoping that young Purdy can bring us to the promise land again we have players n coaches 1 or 2 more times before I go love to know we got more than the Cowgirls 😂Let's gooooooo always a Sucka Free City
Hell ya! My family is from Bernal Heights but I had an uncle who lied on Scherwin so I used to be around there at times. My mom went to Wilson for a while back in the day. Last Niner super bowl win was when I was three so I'm definitely hoping to see one that I can actually remember haha!
I think we should have just updated the stick and renovated it. Or just built new stadium there and played in the coliseum until it was done. There was ways to do it. Instead moving to Santa Clara
I wish! The problem that they were saying was that the land there is landfill so they wouldn't be able to rebuild there.
This makes me sad to see. Glad ya got to enjoy a part of history. I never made it to the stick but my friend got me a beanie from the stick one of last few games there. He shows me a black and red one and ask what one I want so I pick the red one since I already had a black one and then he told me where he got it. It's the one I wear all winter and season long since he give to me lol that's my piece to the stick.
Thanks for the video and thank you for the 49ERS BANG BANG
Thanks you for the story! I'm sorry you never got to check out the stick but I'm happy you at least got you own piece of it that you get to wear! It was a great place. I wish it was still around even if it wasn't being used. It's not the same not seeing it there anymore.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks I believe it bro just looking at whats left. I live in SAN Diego now and it's not the same driving by where Qualcomm Stadium was where the Chargers played. I still never been to a game because I always wanted my first NFL game at the HOME OF THE 9ERS.
Oh yeah nice Garcia Jerry to bro
@@gameboysleepyd4277 Yes! I have heard from multiple people in San Diego how sad it is that Qualcomm is gone. Thank you! Jerry Garcia was the first Niners quarterback I was watching as a kid.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks mine was JOE COOL and the Gang
@@gameboysleepyd4277 Nice! 49ers fans in the 80's were very lucky to see those guys!
CandleStick Park was known as a dump. But it was OUR dump!!.

Hell ya! Levi's is nice and all but it's not Candlestick. I'm just happy I got to enjoy some big games there before they moved.
Taking my first trip To SF in Oct and would love to see this ! . I grew up a die hard fan and would.love to see this . Is there parking around there ans near the sign?
Hey! Yes, you can literally park right in front. It's a pretty dead area so you should have no problem parking right there and getting out. Last I checked, they gated off a lot of the street so you can't go all the way around the stadium but you should still be able to go by the sign the last time I checked.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks awesome . Thanks so much for the info !
@@eosborne9898 Of course! Have fun!
Bay Area Historian in the making !
Haha I'm trying!
@@BayAreaThrowbacks This Andrew by the way bro.
@@aythree1 haha what’s good bro
@@BayAreaThrowbacks Next video gotta be a Deion Sanders diamond turf 9er sneaker/cleat
I wish the new stadium could have been built somewhere else around there.
I agree! I wish the stadium was in San Francisco.
I'm mad I didn't go to the last game at the stick. My boy hit me and had a ticket for me in the corner end zone and they took a party bus there but I couldn't miss work so I had to pass... I should have called out.
Damn that sucks bro. I feel it though, I don't like calling out for work either but once in a while when you have a once in a lifetime opportunity, it may not be the worst option haha.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks
Definitely regret my decision lol glad u got to go and enjoy a final game at the stick!
@@at2130 Thanks bro!
I think they should bring the Levi's Stadium right here in San Francisco, California, not Santa Clara.
I agree!
I still resent York for moving the team to Santa Carla.
Me as well!
@@BayAreaThrowbacks That and when he fired coach Harbaugh for holding practice when he told the coach not to. Fired a winning coach over pride. Unforgivable.
@@Jason-gt2kx I agree! I was pissed. Bill Walsh and Eddie DeBartolo didn't always see eye to eye but Eddie knew that the best thing for the team was to keep Walsh as the coach so that's what he did.
The Yorks made a huge mistake with Levi's. The Warriors got an arena built downtown for crying out loud.
Fireeeeee bro🔥🙏🏽
Thanks bro! Next time we’ll have to set it up More ahead of time so we can hit up some spots. I got a few more spots I want to hit up that I didn’t hit up yesterday for next time I’m back in the bay.
the sign is still there interesting
Yup! Last time I was back home, which was in December, it was still there.
Tailgating at the Stick was awesome cause u felt the bay breeze. Levis tailgating sucks. Miss the Stick vibes driving on 101 and viewing the bay to gametime. Levis is hot as hell and no shade
im not from the bay, maybe you can give some insight why couldnt they rennovate candlestick or build levis there?
So since the land that Candlestick was on is landfill they said they couldn’t rebuild there.
Stupidity the best reason, and Jeff York lives in Woodside, which is closer to Silicon Valley than San Francisco, but only just. In 2007, the Bay Meadows race track was closing, in San Mateo, roughly half way between SF and San Jose, but closer to SF. That would have been a great location: near the Caltrain in the town, near two freeways, Interstate 280 and US 101. Jeff wanted the team in Silicon Valley. Also, the construction firm had connections to Santa Clara University.
A cool thing was my daughters friend about 7 years ago a friend she grew up with her first cousin is Mike Iupatti she lived about 4 houses from us anyways it was cool
Damn that's dope! Haha I was just talking to someone the other day about Mike Iupatti.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks he was good bro
@@SouthernFisherman ya he was!
Maybe a museum could be on this site.
I would be down for that!
I miss candlestick park. Don't get me wrong Levi Stadium has it's pros and cons. But in my opinion candlestick was better .
Ya, Levi's is definitely nice but it's not Candlestick.
Ummm were those Santa Ana winds or were you just driving that fast? lol
Haha that was wind. It gets pretty windy in San Francisco, especially by the water.
As of rams fan I absolutely hate the 49ers but it should be a national landmark it shouldn't have been taken down
I agree bro! It was taken down to build a shopping center and/or affordable housing but all it is now is a big pile of dirt.
Miss Candlestick
Me too bro! Literally just passed by there a couple hours ago. Sad man…
@@BayAreaThrowbacks yas Bro.Levis never will be the same.Miss the Candlestick Flair.So sad See now this place
@@joachimhofer98 I agree bro. Levi’s is nice but it’s not Candlestick. Definitely sad that Candlestick is now just a bunch of dirt.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks Levi's is modern. But Candlestick had flair.
Candlestick was a very special place and will always be the home of the Niners. I'll never understand how the city let it get to this point.
A place with so much emotion and history today only desert
@@joachimhofer98 Definitely! Levi's is a nicer stadium but doesn't have that San Francisco feel. Nothing like that Candlestick feeling bro!
Imagine the 49ers build a new stadium on Candlestick Park, and Levi Stadium is home of the Chargers
I wouldn't want the Chargers in the bay but I definitely wish the Niners would have been able to build a new stadium at Candlestick but from what I know, it wouldn't have been possible.
49ers should have remodeled it instead of building a new one in santa Clara.
I wish! Definitely would prefer them still being in San Francisco!
I wish they could build another stadium here and bring the 49ers back to SF.
I wish they could have but I guess they couldn't because that land is made of landfill.
Sad....wish i could have that sigh
Me too!
Vacant lot, vacant field, or even vacant land. Any of those works. Ha ha.
Haha for sure.
That’s cool bro thanks for sharing it’s a drive from home it’s good now that the rams are in La we
Will play them once at there stadium every year and who knows if we ever play the chargers at there home it’s 45 minutes from me and If they play the raiders that’s 3 hours from me new sub here bro out of Fontana California never been to a game all 9ers here me my wife and 6 kids now my 10 month old grand son
Thanks for the support bro! Ya, I actually lie in Southern California now so I was at the week 18 Niners-Rams game. Almost went to the NFC Championship game but didn't end up going, honestly happy I didn't. You should definitely catch the Niners when they're at Sofi. Stadium is full of Niners fans.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks for sure I will bro a lot of my close friends are die hard 9er fans
@@SouthernFisherman nice! Ya, living in so cal the last two and a half years, I have noticed that there are a lot of Niners fans down here.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks what part of so cal do you bro
@@SouthernFisherman LA Area.
Wow ! I thought they would have built something new there by now. Go Rams ! Should have put the new 9ers stadium there instead. Santa Clara sucks.
Ya, supposedly they were going to but it's still just a big pile of dirt. Definitely wish they would have stayed in the city somewhere.
Well, there's nothing there there in Santa Clara, like Oakland, or San Jose. I grew up there. I always was psyched when my dad took me to a Giants game back in the 1960s, or our family went up there to see The City, go to the Zoo or Golden Gate Park, or the Cliff House, Coit Tower, North Beach. I finally got to Kezar Stadium to see the 49ers in one of their last seasons there. And now there are even more places to go in SF, like Crissy Field and the Presidio, which was off limits to anyone not in the Army back then. And Oracle Park: no baseball park is better than that one. And the area around Chase Center and the yard has become very upscale, Mission Rock and Dogpatch. SF kicks ass!

Good video CG sent me.
Thanks bro! CG is the man.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks any other good throwbacks coming soon like with old stadiums like the old Kesar site?
@@samdoggtheinfamous253 funny you ask that. I'm dropping a Kezar video tomorrow then a Seals Stadium video on Friday.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks cool
They should make museums in candlestick park abt history of the niners
I really wish they would do that. History of the Niners and Giants since that was their home each for 40+ years. Right now it's just a bunch of dirt so we'll see.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks yes I hope we win the super bowl if not still die hard fan
@@romatron1157 Hell ya! They have only won one since I have been alive and I was only three years old so I still haven't got to really experience a Niners Super Bowl win.
The Stick was built strictly for The Giants...
The design for it, as in the location and angles of sight for the grandstand, was similar to that of the old Yankee Stadium, which was built with football in mind as well as baseball. Otherwise, it would have had a grandstand footprint more like that of Dodger Stadium. And as it happened, for the Raiders' last three games of 1960, and all their home games in 1961, they played at Candlestick, and the field layout was exactly the same as it was for the 49ers. The Raiders moved the right field bleachers behind the fence closer to the sideline.
Video started Gilman st side.
Yup!
Wasnt the catch 3 in new orleans??
Nope. It was against New Orleans but it was at Candlestick.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks ah ok....i was in a tiny town in iowa during that game..and i didnt have what ever channel it was on...so my bro who lives in cali called me...put me on speaker phone and gave me play by play while i listened lol...thats why i dont remember where it was played lol
@@DeedeeandtheBeebee Haha I got you. Haha that's a good bro you got there! Did the play by play for you. Luckily, all three "the catches" were at Candlestick so they were all in front of the home crowd.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks lol yup a good bro....I remember when the saints scored that big td to put them up with like 1:27 left....we were devastated....and then frank gore had that run were he stayed in bounds ..my brother was losing his mind...and I was trying to calm him down so I could find out what happened...and then the catch....I was staying the weekend with my girl and her family and they thought I was nuts...lol...maybe they were right
@@DeedeeandtheBeebee Hahaah such a crazy last few minutes of that game. Definitely the most excited/nervous I think I have ever been for a game that I was watching before.
They should have put a $billion into renovating instead of moving.
I wish!
What??? You scammed your way into the last game there? Dang.
Haha yup. Paid $60 for a fake ticket and went through a line where we knew the person so they “scanned” them for us haha.
Those were the golden days, not like rite now
Still some good times now. Just hoping we can eventually win it all!
Why Do Legendary Stadiums Like Candlestick Get Taken Down?
I wish I knew. Driving into the city is not the same without seeing Candlestick to the right of you.
They should of rebuild a new field for the niners
I wish!
Niners have been cursed since leaving candlestick.
Seems like it with all these injuries all the time.
I agree. Some billionaire needs to buy the 49ers and move them back, or build a stadium near to where Candlestick was. There's an industrial wasteland of sorts between the Old Bayshore Highway that runs between Brisbane and SF's south end/Daly City and the freeway. It would be near the Sunnydale Muni station, Cal Train's Bayshore station, and right off US 101. At least the 49ers could play half their schedule in SF and half in Santa Clara. The Packers for decades played in Green Bay and Millwaukee.
I wouldn't go that far. They were in the NFC Championship Game last year. And played in a Super Bowl a few years ago.
Cant believe Levi's cant get a roof because of airplane height restrictions...how did they miss that in the blueprints? 😂
Haha personally I don't like roofs on stadiums. Just my opinion though.
Candlestick park in Asyn the backrooms
Put an NHL arena there
That would be cool, but honestly, I like the Sharks being in San Jose.
@@BayAreaThrowbacks they'd never relocate
WWIII
That stadium was built for the giants other teams that used it just got lucky but that was the giants stadium
