Very Important Theatre XLVIII: This 1985 report on the state of Candlestick Park

Back before a Game of the Week broadcast on NBC in 1985, the pre-show did a report on the Candlestick Park and how the Giants were in the process of finding an alternative to the embarrassing facility.

The video below has everything you want: a Croix de Candlestick commercial, a reminder that the Giants tried to play more day games and used to dress up their stadium workers in Hawaiian shirts to stop fans from thinking about the bitter winds so they would buy a ticket and come out to the game, and a meta-humor commercial where the Giants turn the idea of placing a dome over Candlestick Park (a serious idea that was out there in the zeitgeist) into a long punchline.
