Bidding closes in just a few hours on a piece of Minnesota sports history -- at least for those of a certain gender. Lloyds Construction Services is selling off the salvaged stainless steel urinals from what used to be the Metrodome.

Yes, the Metrodome's old urinals are for sale.

So how hot is an auction for a well-used and iconic Metrodome urinal?

"Man, if I had a nickel for every time I got this phone call," says P.J. Fanberg, vice president of operations for the Maple Plain-based K-Bid auction site.

"This is a fairly unusual auction for us," Fanberg says. "I mean we get a little bit of everything, but this is something that many people have clearly used and have some sort of attachment with. Typically we do tractors, lawn mowers, chain saws things of that nature. And even normal urinals. But not THE troughs from the Metrodome."

There are six of them available, in various sizes. If you just can't hold off any longer go ahead and make your bid
