49ERS PIECE OF HISTORY (KEZAR STADIUM)
Loading...
Uploaded by DAFRISCOKID415 on May 6, 2009
Kezar Stadium, built in the 1920s, was the home of the San Francisco 49ers for more than two decades. In 1922, $100,000 was accepted from the estate of Mary A. Kezar to erect a memorial to her mother and relatives. The San Francisco Park Commission accepted these funds and appropriated an additional $200,000 to build a new stadium. Construction began and was completed in one year. Dedication ceremonies were held at Kezar Stadium on May 2, 1925 when a two mile race was held at the venue.
When the San Francisco 49ers football team was formed in 1946 they needed a stadium to play at. They chose Kezar Stadium as their home and played their first game on September 8, 1946 against the New York Yankees. One tier of bleachers that could hold 59,942 fans circled the entire field. The 49ers played 25 seasons at Kezar Stadium before moving into Candlestick Park in 1971. The team played their last game at Kezar Stadium on January 3, 1971 against the Dallas Cowboys. Kezar Stadium hosted many other events before being demolished in 1989 after suffering extensive earthquake damage. Kezar Stadium was reconstructed providing seating for 10,000 fans. The new stadium features an all-weather track eight lanes wide, a soccer field and two scoreboards.
