I have never been to this stadium before.

anyone with suggestions on where I should try to get my seat.....where to park.....etc.

I don't want to spend too much but I'd be willing to spend a little so i don't have to sit in the nosebleeds.

Never been there but since you're gonna be in the city try eating the garlic roasted dungeness crab and garlic noodles at Crustaceans. It ranks in my top 5 of best meals I've eaten.

I had 9ers season tickets for twenty years some of the best times of my life.

Opening the first beer of the day at 8:30 am now that is football to me.

Go early tailgate and roam the parking lot and ask fellow tailgaters if they have any tickets for sale.

Always worked for friends that came to the park with us but no tickets and I would cruise the parking lot with them asking.

Trust me it works,but this early in the season makes it harder usually the Sun or Mon nights were way easy.

Piece of cake as a lot of season ticket holders do not go to weekday night games.

I would even suggest craigs list the day of the game no sooner and you can probably get under face value.


Expect to see a lot of Saints fans

Ca. is a melting pot I have seen them all.

Cowboy's and Raiders the worse and Packers being the best as far as manners go.

Make sure you dress warmly. The time of day and the fact that Candlestick Park is right next to the Bay makes it cold and windy at night. Likely to feel like in the 50's even in September.

The original restaurant, Thanh Long, is a little better than their second location in SF, Crustacean.

I could tell you how to get out of the parking after the game but you would not understand.

Nut shell you go opposite direction of ghetto and stay as far to left as you can and follow the I280 signs.

Where are you staying?

What town.

so is it not better to park nearby and walk or catch a taxi/bus/train/trolley there?

Not really it is not in downtown SF it is at candlestick point like a state park and what part of the ghetto do you want to walk through to get that bus.

There are no trains and or trolleys.
