Seals Stadium

Seals Stadium was a baseball stadium in Mission District that opened in 1931 and held thousands of spectators. The facility featured three separate clubhouses and bleachers that ran along the base lines, with additional seating in right field.

The stadium was built in 1930 and opened its doors on April 7, 1931, before a large crowd. It became an important baseball venue in the Bay Area for several decades.

The place was deeply tied to San Francisco's baseball culture and drew fans who followed the San Francisco Seals games. Players like Joe DiMaggio shaped their early careers here before moving to the major leagues.

The site no longer exists as a public stadium and survives only in historical records and memories. Visitors can seek out the original location to imagine where the playing field once stood.

The original baseball field is now covered by a major shopping center built on the same site. Knowing the exact location, visitors can today trace where home plate roughly stood amid modern retail stores.
