The last San Francisco 49ers game at Candlestick Park was 10 years ago.

Let's revisit the site of so many championship teams and hall of famers on the south end of San Francisco. Candlestick was one of the most storied stadiums in all of sports.

Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Will Clark, Juan Marichal, John Madden, Kruk & Kuip, Vin Scully, Terrell Owens, Frank Gore, The Beatles and so many more built their legacies right here at the former site of Candlestick Park.

From legendary 49ers and Giants games to behind the scenes tours, we'll talk about the sports history and our personal memories.

Shoutout all my friends & fam with me in these memories, you guys mean the world to me.

"Candlestick Park, located in San Francisco, California, opened in 1960 as the home stadium for the San Francisco Giants baseball team. Originally named "Candlestick Park" due to its location on Candlestick Point, it later became known simply as "The 'Stick." The park gained notoriety for its challenging weather conditions, including strong winds and fog, which made it a unique and often difficult venue for both players and spectators.

In addition to baseball, Candlestick Park also hosted football games, primarily serving as the home stadium for the San Francisco 49ers of the NFL from 1971 to 2013. The stadium witnessed several historic sporting events, including the Beatles' final full concert in 1966 and the 1989 World Series, famously interrupted by the Loma Prieta earthquake.

Candlestick Park underwent renovations and upgrades over the years, but by the late 2000s, its aging infrastructure and facilities led to discussions about building a new stadium. In 2013, both the Giants and the 49ers moved to new venues, marking the end of an era for Candlestick Park. The stadium was demolished in 2015, making way for a retail and housing development called Candlestick Point. Despite its challenges, Candlestick Park holds a significant place in the history of San Francisco sports and entertainment."
