Candlestick Park, which was home to the San Francisco Giants from 1960-1999, will be no more once the San Francisco 49ers move into their new home in Santa Clara after next season.
Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross of the San Francisco Chronicle have the details:
It hosted two World Series, The Catch and the Beatles? last concert. Now it looks like Candlestick Park will go out with a blast next year to make way for a shopping center. Plans are to blow up the 69,000-seat stadium with a 30-second implosion, possibly within weeks of the 49ers? final touchdown next season.
Lennar Corp. is building the shopping center and president Kofi Bonner explained that ?the best thing for our development and the neighborhood is not to have that hulking building sitting there empty.?
The final baseball game at Candlestick Park was played on September 30, 1999, when the Dodgers beat the Giants 9-4. San Francisco?s lineup that day included Barry Bonds, Jeff Kent, and Ellis Burks batting 3-4-5 and Raul Mondesi starred for Los Angeles.
