3Com Park was formally named Candelstick Park. The 49ers have played in 3Com ever since 1960 when it first opened. I have tried to make a complete resource for anyone looking for information on the stadium or tickets. If there is any further information I can supply please don't hesitate to ask...

News
The 49ers have been hoping to build a new stadium for years now. Unfortunately those plans had to be postponed because of the whole Eddie Debartlo situations. Denise, Eddie's sister and current owner of the team is still saying the 49ers are interested in a new stadium, however she cautions that the 49ers will wait until the price is right. Most fans in the bay area would be happy with a simple renovation of 3Com. It's not to much to ask, as the stadium grows old and gets delapitated. In the mean time though nobody can really be sure what the status of the stadium actually is.
Weather & Time
The weather at the game can vary greatly. Always be prepared for windy conditions. It is suggested that you bring a wind resistant jacket to the game even on sunny days.
