Seals Stadium was a minor league baseball stadium that stood in San Francisco from 1931 until 1959. The stadium was originally built with three dressing rooms - one for the visiting team, and one for each of the minor league home teams, the San Francisco Seals and the Mission Reds a.k.a the San Francisco Missions. The latter team left in 1938, becoming the Hollywood Stars.

The stadium initially consisted of an uncovered grandstand stretching from foul pole to foul pole and an uncovered bleacher section in right field. A separate uncovered bleacher section was added in left field in 1958 when the New York Giants moved to the city in 1958, playing at Seals Stadium for two years while Candlestick Park was under construction. In some years a live seal was kept in a water tank underneath the grandstand. He made quite a splash.

The stadium was demolished in November, 1959. Many of the seats and the light stanchions were reused at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, Washington. A Safeway grocery store now stands on the site.
