Seaks Stadium was a magnificent, jewel-box of a stadium that nobody will ever forget who saw a game there
By Dick Meister
AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, is without doubt one of the grandest baseball stadiums ever erected anywhere. But once upon a time, another grand ballpark graced San Francisco, one that also was hailed as among the very best of its time. I highly recommend that you visit it. It’s been gone for a half-century, but that shouldn’t stop you. Come along with me and I’ll show it to you.
Seals Stadium, it was called. Like AT&T Park, it was an urban park. It stood deep inside the city, unlike that chill, windswept blot of concrete, Candlestick Park, where the San Francisco Giants played for 40 uncomfortable seasons.
