Kezar Stadium

[Buzzz]

Went by Kezar Stadium and was curious about its small seating capacity for pro sports? Welp to quote wiki...

It was torn down in 1989, prior to the Loma Prieta earthquake, and rebuilt in its current incarnation as a much smaller, 10,000 seat venue (some 50,000 seats smaller than its original capacity of 59,942). It was recently renovated, and now features 1,000 seats from Candlestick Park.

Kezar Stadium was the first home of the San Francisco 49ers[5] and Oakland Raiders, as well many NFL Hall of Famers, historical NFL games, and the first "alley-oop."[6] The Raiders played at Kezar for their first four home games in 1960, and at Candlestick Park during the remainder of their first two seasons,[7] before Frank Youell Field was built as a temporary facility in Oakland. Defensive end Jim Marshall of the visiting Minnesota Vikings had his famous "wrong way run" at Kezar in 1964, against the 49ers on October 25.[8]

The 49ers played the final NFL game at Kezar in early 1971, losing the 1970 NFC Championship Game to the Dallas Cowboys 17–10 on January 3.[9] The 49ers moved to the more modern and accessible Candlestick Park (1960–2015) for the 1971 season, and played there for 43 years, through 2013.

Curious where fans parkedin the 60's? Not alot of parking around the area unless they built on parking-lots since the tear-down. Its a cool-area Golden Gate Park. I remember watching 9er games on tv, there was alot of seagulls on the football field...lol
