Candlestick Park, San Francisco’s stadium, opened in 1960 and will close in 2014. Over the years, the park was home field for the Giants baseball team and 49ers football team and the site of some of their greatest triumphs. The 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake hit as millions of TV viewers took in Game 3 of the "Bay Bridge World Series" between the Oakland Athletics and the Giants in 1989.

The Beatles held their last live concert at Candlestick in 1966. On August 14, 2014 Sir Paul McCartney took the stage for Candlestick's final event. Candlestick Park will be demolished for a planned housing, retail and entertainment development.
