Candlestick Park
Candlestick Park was an outdoor sports and entertainment stadium on the West Coast of the United States, located in San Francisco, in the Bayview Heights area. The stadium was originally the home of Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants, who played there from 1960 until moving into Pacific Bell Park (since renamed Oracle Park) in 2000. It was also the home field of the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League from 1971 through 2013. The 49ers moved to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara for the 2014 season. The last event held at Candlestick was a concert by Paul McCartney in August 2014, and the demolition of the stadium was completed in September 2015.
Oakland Raiders relocation to Las Vegas
On December 11, 2018, the city of Oakland filed an antitrust lawsuit against the Raiders and, individually, all 31 other teams in the NFL seeking millions of dollars in financial damages and unpaid debts on the Coliseum; the suit does not seek an injunction forcing the team to stay. As a result of the lawsuit, Raiders management indicated they would not stay in Oakland for the 2019 NFL season. As of January 2019, three sites are in serious consideration for the Raiders in 2019: Oracle Park in San Francisco, California; San Deigo Stadium in San Diego, California; and Mackay Stadium in Reno, Nevada. Raiders management has outright rejected the notion of sharing Levi's Stadium with the San Francisco 49ers, the league and team are not considering any other locations in the United States (thus ruling out previously considered sites such as Berkeley or San Antonio), and the possibility of playing all of their home games in London, while not rejected, is believed to be an "extreme long shot" given the cost and logistics concerns such a relocation would pose.
