Thanksgiving Day Disaster
The Thanksgiving Day disaster took place in San Francisco on November 29, 1900, at the annual college football game between the California Golden Bears and the Stanford Cardinal, also known as the Big Game. A large crowd of people who did not want to pay the $1 (equivalent of $40 today) admission fee gathered upon the roof of a glass blowing factory to watch for free. The roof collapsed, spilling many spectators onto a furnace. Twenty-three people were killed, and over 100 more were injured. The disaster remains as one of the deadliest accidents at a sporting event in U.S. history.

Seals Stadium
Seals Stadium was a Minor League Baseball stadium in San Francisco, California, United States; it later became the first home of the major-league San Francisco Giants. Opened in the Mission District in 1931, Seals Stadium was the longtime home of the San Francisco Seals (1931–1957) of the Pacific Coast League. The PCL's Mission Reds (1931–1937) shared the ballpark with the Seals for the first seven years, then moved to Los Angeles and became the Hollywood Stars.
In 1958, Seals Stadium became a temporary home for the Giants for their first two seasons in San Francisco while Candlestick Park was under construction. Less than three decades old, Seals Stadium was demolished in late 1959 after construction on Candlestick Park was finished.
