Candlestick Park to gain upper deck extension and wind plan
San Francisco Mayor Jack Shelley plans to fund a seven million dollar expansion of Candlestick Park, extending the second deck from left to right to improve wind conditions and add 30,000 seats for a total capacity of 72,501. Architect John Bolles had prepared paperwork to convert Candlestick into an all purpose stadium, with NFL and baseball uses in mind, while existing Kezar Stadium seating and parking constraints push 49ers toward Candlestick for 1967 plans.
