The Candlestick Park (also simply Candlestick or The Stick ) is an American football and baseball stadium in San Francisco.

The stadium is the home ground since 1971, the American football NFL team San Francisco 49ers. It was originally built in 1958 as the home of the baseball team San Francisco Giants, who until 1999 fought out their home games here between 1960 and moved in 2000 to AT & T Park. In addition, the Oakland Raiders took advantage of the stadium for a season in 1961.

From 2004 to 2008, the stadium was known for naming rights sold under the name Monster Park. After this expired in 2008, the original name was adopted again.

After the 2013 NFL season the 49ers moved into the new Levi 's Stadium to Santa Clara.
