49ers at Candlestick Park
The San Francisco 49ers football team played their home games at Kezar Stadium from 1946 to 1970. Kezar Stadium, located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, served as the team's home field during its early years in both the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) and later the National Football League (NFL).
Notable moments at Kezar Stadium include the 49ers' first-ever game in 1946, and the team's victory in the 1957 "Million Dollar Backfield" game, where four future Hall of Fame members formed the backfield. The 49ers' time at Kezar Stadium concluded with the move to Candlestick Park in 1971.
The San Francisco 49ers played their home games at Candlestick Park from 1971 to 2013. The team's last regular-season game at Candlestick Park took place on December 23, 2013, against the Atlanta Falcons. The 49ers won that game with a score of 34-24. The victory was a fitting farewell to the iconic stadium, and it secured a playoff spot for the team in their final season at Candlestick Park.
The San Francisco 49ers' final playoff game at Candlestick Park occurred during the 2013 NFL season. It was a memorable game in the NFC Championship, and it took place on January 19, 2014. The 49ers faced the Seattle Seahawks in a highly competitive and closely contested matchup.
The game went down in history as one of the more dramatic conference championship games. It was a hard-fought battle between the two NFC West rivals, with the winner earning a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII. Unfortunately for the 49ers and their fans, the game ended in disappointment as the Seahawks secured a 23-17 victory.
The defeat marked the last playoff game for the 49ers at Candlestick Park, bringing an end to an era in the team's storied history at that iconic venue. The following season, the 49ers moved to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, where they continue to play their home games.
The 49ers then moved to Levi's Stadium, which is located in Santa Clara, California. Levi's Stadium officially became the team's home starting with the 2014 NFL season. The transition marked the end of an era at Candlestick Park, a venue that had been synonymous with the 49ers for several decades.
