SAN FRANCISCO-A major San Francisco landmark is looking for a new corporate sponsor. Candlestick Park, home of the San Francisco 49ers, has started a search for a new sponsor to take the place of 3Com, whose contract will expire in January.

The 49ers leased naming rights from the city of San Francisco, which owns the park, about six years ago. The 49ers leased the naming rights for a reported $900,000 a year, but they re-leased the naming rights to 3Com for an undisclosed price.
