Actually, I believe the Baseball Giants wanted a return to grass, which was given up when the 49ers moved in for the 1971 season.Even when grass first was re-installed in Candlestick, there was big problems with the field, especially during the "rainy season." I remember a 1980 game against the Bills and another one the following season where all the players had mud all over the place. They had to do a TON of work on the field just to get it in shape for the 1981 playoffs (early January 1982). The field took a beating just in the playoff game for the 49ers against the Giants and they really worked again to get it ready for the NFC Title game against the Cowboys ("The Catch" game). |
