PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Who would spend $280 for a pair of uncomfortable blue plastic seats? Phillies fans, that's who -- and anyone else interested in pro sports memorabilia.
The Philadelphia Phillies are planning to auction off bits and pieces of Veterans Stadium after the baseball season, including lockers, signs, dugout benches and swatches of artificial turf.
The Phillies are financially responsible for demolishing the Vet and hope to recoup some of the costs through the sale of stadium memorabilia. The 32-year-old concrete bowl is scheduled to come down early next year as the Phillies and Eagles move into new stadiums nearby.
