Ballpark seats go on auction block
Fans of "Bull Durham" can bid for a piece of movie memorabilia over the next week.
Posted — Updated
The bids for each lot start at $1, and the auction runs through 7 p.m. Feb. 12.
The seats are considered to be in poor condition, according to the Web site, and prospective buyers can call Joy Mickle Walker, the city's downtown development coordinator, at 919- 560-4965, extension 208, to arrange a visit to the DAP to inspect them.
The DAP was home to the Durham Bulls minor-league baseball team from 1926 to 1994, and the stadium was a primary film location for the 1988 movie "Bull Durham."
The city is renovating the ballpark to serve as a training facility for minor-league groundskeepers and to eventually host college and other baseball games. The $5 million upgrade is expected to be complete in May and includes a state-of-the-art playing field and improvements to the infrastructure, restrooms, concessions and – of course – seating.
