RCA Dome items in online auction

INDIANAPOLIS — Stadium seats, turf and even pieces of the soon-to-be-razed RCA Dome's roof are available to buy online by fans who want a piece of Indianapolis sports history.

A pair of stadium seats will cost $450.

Along with fixed-price items, an online auction began Monday afternoon. Items up for bid include lockers for tight end Dallas Clark and center Jeff Saturday and the midfield helmet turf logo.

The RCA Dome opened in 1984 and cost $82 million to build. The new home of the Indianapolis Colts this season will be Lucas Oil Stadium, being built across the street for about $700 million.

The 63,000-seat, retractable-roof stadium is scheduled to be complete by Aug. 15, about a week before the Colts are scheduled to play a preseason game there.
