The first Kezar Stadium, a much larger, Willis Polk-designed facility built in 1924-1925 and seating 59,942, was torn down in 06/1989. The City of San Francisco decided to build a new smaller, less costly, $9 million stadium to house high school track and field meets and football games. (The new Kezar had a grass playing field ringed by an 8-lane track.) The city opened the new Kezar in 1990, and renamed the playing field at Kezar Stadium #2, "Bob St. Clair Field," c. 2003. St. Clair played football for San Francisco's Polytechnic High School, the University of San Francisco Dons (undefeated in 1951) and the NFL's San Francisco 49er's (1953-1964). The City of San Francisco derived funding for the smaller, rebuilt stadium from Park Bond Proposition D, passed in 1987. Rumors swirled in March 2009 that the cash-strapped City and County of San Francisco would put Kezar Stadium up for sale; this proved false.

Tel: (415) 666-7024 (2005); a copy of the original archway emblazoned with the name "Kezar Stadium" was erected on the new stadium's west side.
