Want a piece of Nashville sports history? Vanderbilt football goalpost pieces on auction

Looking to buy that perfect statement piece for your home office?

Vanderbilt football fans can own a tangible piece of Nashville sports history after the team secured an unexpected win against No. 1 Alabama Saturday night.

Specifically, an eight-inch banana yellow metal bar, that until Saturday night, was part of the Vanderbilt Commodores football field — for $4,035. As of Monday afternoon, all the available pieces of the goalpost were sold out, but other items were still being auctioned.

Prices shot up for the in-demand mementos throughout the day Monday. Personalized football helmets jumped from $7,090 in the morning to $31,090 by 4 p.m. Goal line pylons started at $800 and grew to $1,300 or more. Game balls were selling for $6,885 each.

Vanderbilt fans stormed the FirstBank Stadium field after the historic home win. They wrenched the south end zone goalpost out of the ground and carried it onto the streets of Nashville.

Southeastern Conference officials have ordered Vanderbilt Athletics to pay Alabama $100,000 for storming the field — an SEC violation since 2023.

A representative of Vanderbilt University said the proceeds from the auction will not be used to pay the SEC fine.

The online auction can be accessed in the LiveSource app or online at desktop.livesourceapp.com .

The auction will last until 5 p.m. Oct. 10.

After the game, the Nashville Fire Department recovered the goalpost from the Cumberland River — the victorious students had marched almost three miles down Broadway to ceremoniously toss it in. Video clips and pictures published online show fans celebrating the moment. It took at least an hour to get the goalpost from the stadium to Riverfront Park in Downtown Nashville.
