Giants Move Into Candlestick Park
Two years after construction began, the San Francisco Giants moved into their home for the next 40 years on this date in 1960. The Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers became the first West Coast major league baseball teams when they left New York in 1958. The new home was Candlestick Park, known as one of the windiest and coldest stadiums in the country. The Giants move their offices to Candlestick Park. The team would work out of a locker room until the facility is completed a few months later. |
