Lower Box Seats behind home plate at Candlestick Park during batting practice before a SF Giants game. You can see the luxury boxes that circled above and the press box up on top of the stadium.
These were great seats with good chances of foul balls coming in this section. I rarely got to sit in this section because the seats were much more expensive and were harder to come by. When I did sit here, I always brought my glove just in case a foul ball came my way.
Welcome to the exit corridor from the Upper Box level in the right field stands area of Candlestick Park. It was interesting to look down the corridor and see the sunlight streaming in from the opening leading to the upper box seats. This exit corridor looks almost endless.
Candlestick Park on 4/15/15 viewed from Gate A which was the southside of the stadium. The double decker escalator was partially dismantled during this demolition time. I really liked the bright red color of the escalator. It was originally just concrete grey, but was painted red later.
The Saint Francis of Assisi Statue was located on the front of Candlestick Park on the South side of the stadium. During the demolition, the statue could be viewed from the North side of the stadium (Right Center Field) since most of the stands were torn down.
Candlestick Park on May 12, 2015. It is now completely gone and only lives in our memories. The Stick received a lot of bad rap because of the cold windy conditions which accompanied many night baseball games for the SF Giants. Candlestick Park was also one of the oldest stadiums in use before it was torn down, but I have a lot of fond memories going to Giants and 49’er games there and being part of the die hard crowd who did not fear the fierce cold winds and fog that blew in from the Pacific Ocean through the wind tunnel gap on the border of Daly City and San Francisco.
