So I guess it should come as no surprise that the eventual demolition of Shea and Yankee Stadiums will create a wealth of souveniers. Technically the city owns both ballparks and everything in them - but both teams want to buy the salvage rights from the city. When you factor in all the seats, signs, even phones, each park could gross upwards of $20 million. Guess the inflated ticket prices and all those new suites in Corporate Field aren't enough for the Wilpon family.
When the Cardinals tore down Busch Stadium, they even sold some of the urinals for several hundred each.
Hmmm - how much do you think a Shea urinal would fetch on eBay?
