FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) – There aren’t any peanuts or popcorn at Fort Wayne’s former minor league baseball stadium, but bargain hunters can find popcorn warmers, ice cream machines and beer dispensers there.

The 15-year-old Memorial Stadium is set for demolition starting June 8, and the items inside are being auctioned off Saturday.

The stadium’s digital scoreboard, seats and pitcher’s mound dirt may prove most useful to other teams. But officials hope others may be interested in items such as cabinets, picnic tables, sinks, snowplows or chain link fencing.

Memorial Stadium is open to the public Friday so that people can look at the items that will be sold Saturday.

Memorial Stadium’s replacement, Parkview Field, is already up and running.
