Candlestick Park Infected (with Hollywood)

The home of the San Francisco 49ers infected this morning. The movie "Contagion" wraps shooting at Candlestick Park on Wednesday, according to the San Francisco Examiner.

Producers paid $60,000 to shoot at the stadium. Filmmakers needed a big open space for their diseased cast and Candlestick appears to be it.

During the big finale, a helicopter will land in the middle of the field among the tents, military vehicles and about 1,000 actors. The scene is supposed to be of a large vaccination center.

Crews spent the past weekend shooting scenes in other parts of San Francisco, including a North Beach home.

"Contagion" stars Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow.
