There was a market for the Metrodome urinal troughs. So why wouldn't there be a market for other Dome leftovers?

Nick Vetter and Joel Bradley are counting on it and will be selling their "Domepourri" featuring bits of the now-demolished Dome this weekend at TwinsFest. A 4-ounce jar of scraps is $5, while a nicer 8-ounce jar is $15.

"It's a nice conversation piece and we think it will bring smiles to a lot of faces," Vetter told City Pages. "A lot of people have a lot of great memories from the Dome."

If you can't make it to TwinsFest at Target Field, you can also make a run at one of the jars via eBay. What's in Domepourri? A hodge-podge of old bits of the Dome, including pieces of the old roof, old turf, cup holders, seats and even bolts.
