Last year, the 49ers began selling pairs of Candlestick Park seats, giving first priority to season ticket holders.

Judging by the pictures captured by NBC Bay Area's helicopter on Monday, the supply has outweighed demand. Hundreds of discarded seats could be seen piled all over the place inside the now-defunct stadium.

Also on Monday, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee revealed the future of Candlestick, the site of which is slated to become an "urban outlet" mall, featuring an African diaspora-themed market, movie theaters and 6,000 homes.

Proceeds from the chair that were sold were to benefit San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department youth programs.

Demolition of the storied venue is expected to begin this winter.[[236427801, C]]
