San Francisco 49ers
Monster Park (colloquially
Candlestick, after its original name of Candlestick Park, and sometimes
just simply The Stick) is an outdoor sports and entertainment stadium
located in San Francisco, California. It is the present home field of
the San Francisco 49ers NFL team. The stadium is situated at
Candlestick Point on the western shore of the San Francisco Bay. Due to
its location next to a hill, strong winds often swirl down into the
stadium creating interesting playing conditions.
The rights to the arena name were licensed
to 3Com Corporation, from 1995-2002. During that time, the park became
known as 3Com Park, then in 2002 the naming rights deal expired, and the
park then became officially known as 'San Francisco Stadium at
Candlestick Point'. On September 28, 2004, yet another new naming rights
deal was signed with Monster Cable, a maker of cables for electronic
equipment, and the stadium was renamed Monster Park. Many people
erroneously assume the Monster Park name is associated with Monster.com,
however the stadium still retains the unofficial title 'Candlestick
Park'.
