You’re a dedicated baseball fan. You love your team. You’re so committed, you’ve turned your basement into a baseball sanctuary. It has everything: Framed jerseys, signed team posters and decorative wallpaper.

Despite all that, it doesn’t feel complete. Smack in the middle of the room lies a comfy recliner where you sit and watch your favorite team’s games. While the recliner is nice, you, the devoted fan, would prefer an uncomfortable, plastic stadium seat similar to the ones you would typically find at the ballpark. You know, just to complete the experience.

If that’s the type of fan you are, well, the Chicago Cubs have just the item for you. The Cubs are selling a limited number of seats that were removed from Wrigley Field as part of the recent renovations in the ballpark.

Starting Feb. 3, fans will be able to buy sets of 2015 and 2016 that were taken out of the park. The sets contain two seats and are authenticated by Major League Baseball, so you know you’re getting the real thing. The seats available for purchase come from the Terrace Reserved, Terrace Box and Field Box locations in the ballpark.

As expected, bringing a piece of Wrigley Field to your house won’t be cheap. The Cubs are charging $799 for seat sets removed during the 2015 offseason. If you want seats removed during the 2016 offseason, you’ll have to pay $899. Those figures don’t include shipping, either. That will cost you an extra $132.99, according to the Cubs. There is not a pickup option available, so you can’t drive your pickup truck to Wrigley Field and put the seats in the back in order to get out of the shipping fee.

Still interested? If so, you can check out the Cubs’ website for more information.

That might seem like a pretty price, but nothing is too expensive for you, the sports super-fan. Hey, no one batted an eye when you purchased Aubrey Huff’s World Series thong off eBay. Compared to that, expensive stadium seats are nothing.
