LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Anyone who wants a souvenir, or maybe a walk-in freezer, from Lincoln's idle Pershing Center will soon be able to buy it.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports the city is getting ready to sell nearly everything it can from Pershing, which closed last fall after 57 years.
Fred McCoy is closing down the building where he's worked for 36 years. He says nearly everything will be for sale at bigiron.com starting in mid-January.
The sale closes February 11th, but buyers have to pick up whatever they buy themselves.
But until the auction wraps up, the city is trying to save money by setting the boilers to 40 degrees and keeping the lights off.
Pershing was replaced by the new Pinnacle Bank Arena that opened in 2013.
