This is the parking lot of Candlestick Park with stadium profile. It is cool to see the old cars in the lot. The big American sedans, station wagons, and trucks are representative of 1988. Do you see the Mazda RX 7? This is before our current SUV, Mini Cooper or Tesla craze.

I previously posted a black and white version of the same photo. I love to take multiple versions of a scene such as color and black & white photographs. When we capture an image, remember that exact image or moment may never happen again. Each minute lost cannot be regained. A moment lost is gone forever. Precious moments matter! Preserve those moments with lots of pictures.

A warm afternoon at Candlestick Park with fans milling and walking around the upper and mid-level concourse levels. The walking ramps were well traveled by fans going to their destinations.

There will be an artist reception of some Candlestick Park photographs at Bazaar Cafe, 5927 California St, SF, CA on Monday, September 26, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Please come if you are interested. Thank you.

This is the huge JumboTron with advertisements for Coca Cola, Ford Fever and the infamous local electronic store – Matthew’s located on “Top of the Hill Daly City”. We would hear their advertisements always on the radio.

Here’s a commercial for this old store – Matthew’s Top of the Hill Daly City

This photograph was taken in May 1988 with Kodachrome 35mm slide film.

Notice the camera in the back of all the red chairs. This is the centerfield camera for television broadcasts.

The fence on the right restricted the fans from going into the center back area of the stadium.

I went 2 hours earlier than game time to Candlestick Park. I would roam around the stadium taking photographs. This is why there is no one sitting in the seats.

These were the cheaper bleacher seats in section 44. For general admission, tickets were $2.50. I would often just go to the box office the day of the game at the stadium and buy my ticket. Baseball was so easily available for everyone to watch live. It was a wonderful time to be a San Francisco Giants fan.

Photographs taken of Candlestick Park during the late 1980’s with a Canon EOS 620 35mm film camera. I used T-Max 100 black & white negative film for all the pictures. I scanned the negatives and converted them into digital files.

The top two photographs are the lower box seats behind home plate, and I took the pictures in this section. I took the photographs before the game as I love to roam around the stadium.

The third photograph seats are in the upper deck behind center field. I was in this section and took the photograph looking down to center field. The game was in progress when I took this photograph.

The bottom photograph is in the upper deck concourse level. I think I took this photograph before the game since the area is empty. I spent endless hours photographing Candlestick Park.

The exterior of Candlestick Park in Lot E before a SF Giants game in 1988. The picture was taken with a Canon EOS 620 film camera using Kodachrome 64 slide film. This was the southern end of Candlestick Park.

Pulled-back and close-up view of the Candlestick Park scoreboard. It maybe small by today’s standards but was perfectly fine back in 1988 especially with the Sony JumboTRON. It did its job providing stats and entertained with the many videos. I have a lot of great memories from Candlestick Park.

Photographed at Fuji Photo Day on Saturday, May 14, 1988 at a SF Giants vs New York Mets game. The baseball visiting teams used this entrance to get to their locker room. When the Giants moved out after the 1999 season and the 49’ers were the only tenant, they used this as their locker room until they moved to Santa Clara after the 2013 season.
