    The 'Niners are a big part of SF life, and a source of immense pride not only to the city itself, but to all of Norhern California. Watching games in bars is not such a big activity - as most games start at 1 PM at the latest (10 AM if they're playing on the east coast). The best way to see them is live of course, and the parking lot tailgaters are legendary - starting very early in the morning. Virtually all the seats at the 'Stick are held by season ticket holders, and the few that are available are snapped up early in the season. In past years tickets were virtually impossible to get. However, most of these ticket holders offload the not-so-big game tickets on the internet. Craig's List is great for this. Another avenue is to ask at your local bar; bar owners often get season tickets and keep the good games and sell the others to their patrons. And then there are always the scalpers. The 'Niners have won 5 Super Bowls over the years, but these days the team is but a shell of its former greatness. But our loss is your gain... tickets should be plentiful. Games against the hated Raiders or the universally despised Dallas Cowboys are always hard to get, but this once untouchable experience is now within your reach! PS... don't beleve the hype about how awful Candlestick is. While it was a pretty bad place to watch baseball, its actually a great place to watch a football game! PPS... Candlestick Park is located in one of the worst neighborhoods in the City. Stick to the main freeway exits and don't try to take shortcuts.

    The 49ers are the only team, ever, to win FIVE Superbowls. We won once, then we repeated. Then we threepeated and then four-and-fivepeated. If you are here in football season, get to Candlestick Park. There are shuttle buses from downtown SF. Do NOT miss the Forty Clove Garlck Chicken. As is appropriate sor SF, Sushi and Chardonay are also available.

    Candlestick is windy. bring a windcheater.

  • This game hosted two of the biggest cheaters ever to play the game. In the Giant's last year of playing here before moving to Pac Bell saw me seeing my first game in San Francisco. Only cheater number 2, Mark Mcguire, hit a home run that day. Cheater number 1, Barry Bonds, did not. Anyway. This is not and was not a good place to see a game. But everyone knows that and that is why and how the Giants finally got their new home. Can’t believe at the time this was only my fifth stadium on the count down.

    While the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers have fallen off a bit (okay, they suck right now!), that doesn't take away the fact that they were the most dominant team in football throughout the '80s and '90s. They have won a total of five Super Bowl titles and play at 3Com Park.

    Originally built for the San Francisco Giants (who moved to Pac Bell or SBC Park) in 2000, Monster Park has been the home of the 49ers since 1971. Although Candlestick Park was built for the Giants, the Beatles played their last concert ever there on August 29, 1966, and the NFL’s 49ers have won so many Super Bowls since they moved there in 1971 that the sign in the parking lot said, "Home of the Super Bowl Champions," with almost no mention of the primary tenants. Six World Series games have been played at Candlestick Park, but the most memorable October event there was the World Series game that wasn’t played. That was on October 17, 1989, when an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter Scale preempted what was to have been Game 3 of the 1989 Bay Bridge World Series against the Oakland A’s. As houses crumbled, highways buckled and bridges collapsed, Candlestick Park stood strong - with 62,000 people packed inside it, none of whom were injured.

    None unless your a fanatic fan then bring your banners, props, (Baseball Bat?)!

    Formerly known as 3Com Park (or the more famous Candlestick Park), this is the home of my favorite NFL team, the SF 49ers! That being said, screw the Cowboys, and that's coming from a native Texan *and* a current Dallas resident!

    I never went to the stadium myself, but the field always looked absolutely beautiful on TV. I know the vendors will love you if you bring money.

    Candlestick Park / SF 49'ers: Football at Candlestick

  • The 49ers are San Francisco's professional football team in the NFL. The NFL season starts in September and ends in January. Candlestick Park is one of the historic and more well known stadiums in the United States. Built in the late 1950's, it was designed to withstand the harsh wind and cold of the Bay area. That plan failed though and Candlestick became widely known for it's wild winds and blistering cold.

    Cold weather clothes!

    In years past, this would have been a marquee game; the Miami Dolphins vs. the San Francisco 49'ers. How times have changed...both teams are doing poorly this year due to a number of reasons...but hey, it's my beloved Fins so I have to see them no matter what. Well we made a good choice, because not only were the seats great, but the Fins won the game.

    If you are going to attend games here, then you should bring a light jacket, sunglasses and a hat to block the sun.

    The SF 49ers, if nothing else, have a steadfast following of loyal fans. Tickets to the games are like gold itself. Season tickets are even rarer as it will be years before your name comes up on the list now.

    This was our first American Football game and we both loved it

    You can buy stuff anywhere with the 49ers on it. We were there in November and it was quite chilly - so wrap up a bit
