The stadium is situated on the western shore of the San Francisco Bay. Due to its location next to a hill, strong winds often swirl down into the stadium creating interesting playing conditions.

The surface of the field is natural bluegrass, but from 1971 to 1978 it was replaced by artificial turf.
