MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Fan who want a piece of Metrodome history can now buy the stadium's bright-blue seats.

The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority said Friday that Albrecht Sign Co. of Fridley was awarded the contract to remove and sell the dome's seats.

Reports say Albrecht will remove more than 60,000 of the stadium's seats. The company will sell seats in sets of three to six to the public for $60 a seat.
