With at least two weeks - and perhaps as many as five - to go before the last game is played at Busch, the Cardinals already have sold all 13,000 pairs of game-used stadium seats put up for sale. Each pair cost $470. The Cards still have empty champagne bottles left from last year's championship series. The club is pricing the empties at $500 apiece. If Busch Stadium had artificial turf, Michael Barnes, of the Barnes Sports Group in Festus, estimates he could sell thousands of 2-inch-by-2-inch sections at $20 to $30 apiece. Instead, the club plans to sell small containers of the stadium's dirt for under $10. Barnes says he expects to sell 5,000 or so. As for those urinals, Barnes says they'll be very popular. He expects to get several hundred dollars or more each at an auction planned for Thanksgiving weekend. Why would anyone buy a used urinal from an old stadium? "If there's a demand," Barnes says, "we will meet it."
