This is an exterior view of Candlestick Park’s upper concourse level during a night game. Candlestick Park had a distinctive look that separated it out from all the other stadiums.

I used high speed Kodak T-Max 35mm film to take this picture. The film holds up well enough though there is a lot of grain in the picture. I used this film a lot for my night photography pictures.

Do you see the head of the fan looking out from the upper concourse level?  My wife loves this picture, but she did not notice the person until I told her. There were a few concession stands in this area, though there were more in the lower concourse.  The light in this walk way gave a unique glow to the Stick.  It is interesting to see the contrast of the shadows and light glow in the night.  It gave an interesting perspective under the upper concourse seating area.  This is another example of “chiaroscuro” which is the strong contrasts between light and dark.

It reminds me that art can be found anywhere if we will look.  I love finding art in stadiums.  It would be nice if I could continue this journey of photographing art in different stadiums in the future.

img242-dust-removed-copyThe SF Giants were warming up and taking batting practice 2 hours before a night game.  The sun was setting and had reached the upper deck of the stadium.  This was during the 1989 season which was 10 years before the Giants would play their last game at Candlestick Park.  The photograph was taken with my Canon EOS 620 35mm camera using Kodachrome 64 slide film.

I took this picture on Saturday, May 14, 1988.  It was Fuji Photo Day at Candlestick Park.  I love being on the stadium grass field.  I took this photograph towards the end of the pre-game event.  People are starting to come into the stadium for this game – SF Giants versus the New York Mets.  I tried to stay on the field as long as I could.  See the score board sign – “PLEASE LEAVE THE FIELD TODAY BY WAY OF THE STAIRWAYS & RAMPS….”.  There were hundreds of fans on the field.  So I lingered in the back of the crowd with this sign looming to tell me to leave.  You can see as I took this photograph that there is no one left on the field.   The ushers were nice and did not force me off the field.  I was pretty slow walking off the field.   I took as many shots as I could, and I was about the last fan to leave the field.

Please examine this photograph.  Can you see the letters in the upper deck behind center field?  It was so cool how these particular fans folded up the seat bottoms to show the letters.  Can you see METS?

img062 Kodachrome 5.88 Copy img022 Kodachrome 5.88 CopyThe top photograph shows the back section of the scoreboard in centerfield (National/American League scores with the Union 76 Logo.  I was coming down the stairs to the general admission area.  The bottom photograph shows the entire centerfield scoreboard including the Sony JumboTRON.  I was on the field during Fuji Photo Day on the third base side and was getting ready to head back up to the stands.  Both photographs were taken in May 1988 using Kodachrome 64 35mm slide film.

The camera was a Canon EOS 620 film camera.  Those were the days when you had to ration out your picture taking as you only had 36 exposures on a roll of film.  The slide film held up very well over the years as I had it stored in a cool dry area.  The color and details are still excellent when I scanned the transparencies on an Epson Flatbed scanner.

Candlestick Park – Matthew’s Top of the Hill Daly City Ad

img029 Kodachrome 5.88 CopyThis 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.

img032 Copy img022 Copy img021 Copy img012 Dust Removed CopyWelcome to the SF Giants Home Opener against the Florida Marlins on Monday, April 12, 1993.  The pre-game show was very festive and a privilege to see and hear The Grateful Dead performed the National Anthem.  It was great to see 5 Giants Hall of Famers throw out the first pitch.  It was also nice that the Giants won 4-3.  All the photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 620 film camera using Kodak Gold 400 color negative film.
