A 49ers spokesman said city engineers worked swiftly to switch the power to backup generators.
Joe Molica, a spokesman for Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said the power company was still investigating the cause of the outage.
"So far I don't know what the cause is," Molica said. "We do know that Candlestick was the only customer affected by this outage."
Molica said PG&E and park authorities had made all the routine checks earlier in the day and that all systems appeared to be in order.
He said was back up on full power and multiple crews went to Candlestick to investigate.
Monday marked San Francisco's biggest home game since their last trip to the playoffs in January 2003, when the Niners came from behind to stun the New York Giants 39-38 in one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said city workers worked with PG&E officials to restore power to the stadium and he has called for an investigation "to prevent incidents such as this from happening again."
He also took the time to crow a bit over the 49ers' win.
"Tonight we all share in tremendous pride for our San Francisco 49ers," he said. "We must make every effort to support continued victories for the team and fans across the Bay Area in the weeks ahead."
