Notes: |
- Many people erroneously assume the Monster Park name is associated with the well-known Monster.com
job search website. It is actually named for Monster Cable.
- Monster Park is almost universally referred to as Candlestick Park by both locals and much of the
media despite the name change. The Monster Park moniker is confined to the 49ers front office and to some radio and television broadcasters, all of whom are contractually required to use the corporate sponsor's name whenever referring to the park, just as they were with 3Com.
- It gets so cold here at night that during baseball season fans who stayed after a San Francisco Giants
extra inning victory would get a pin that said in latin "I came, I saw, I survived" with the Giants logo
covered in ice/snow. One baseball player hated this venue so much he specifically put a clause in his
contract that he could not be traded to the Giants, because they played here.
- During the last Metallica
show here, it was an all day festival, so it lasted from 1pm until 11pm. Fans were
burnt by the sun in the afternoon and frozen solid when the sun went down.
I had
the "pleasure" of
experiencing this first hand!
- Fans in the area (myself included) are sick and tired of the bullshit corporate venue changes, and this stadium has had some of the very worst. A measure passed in the November 2, 2004 election states that the stadium name will revert back to Candlestick permanently after the current contract with Monster Cable expires in 2008.
UPDATE: When former 49ers coach Bill Walsh died in 2007, it was decided to instead rename the
field Bill Walsh Field in honor of the man when the Monster contract expires.
