@SaveFarris_PSN said in Why isn't Candlestick an Iconic/Classic Park?:
A. All of the "modern" classic stadiums were used up until 2009. The Giants left the Stick back in 2000.
B. Outside of the wind and the Oakland-sized foul territory, Candlestick was pretty much a cookie cutter indistinguishable from all the other 1970's atrocities (Riverfront, Astrodome, 3 Rivers, Vet, etc.)
As an A's fan, I'm convinced that their stadium would be looked at as iconic if their ownership wasn't so determined to cheap out and field a roster that would struggle to win a AAA championship year after year.
