Now, with club officials looking to continue with some of the first steps, items from the Den are being auctioned off to fans.
Supporters can bid for several items from the stadium - including seats from both the home and away dugouts.
They can also buy signs from around the venue and even some trophies.

"Famous managers such as Neil Harris and Gary Rowett, plus popular players like Jed Wallace, Jake Cooper and Steve Morison sat on them as they watched the action on the pitch, either after coming off themselves or as they prepared to go on."
He continued: "The auction provides three specific solutions for the club and the fans.
"Firstly, it allows us to repurpose club property – much of it unique – in a creative way so that it is not wasted.
"Secondly, it provides a unique opportunity for fans to acquire genuine Millwall FC memorabilia direct from The Den that they would otherwise not be able to get their hands on.
"And lastly, it will raise money for us to reinvest in the club itself. It's the ideal outcome."

Enzo Fernandez believes Club World Cup matches in intense heat are ‘dangerous'
The Argentina World Cup winner says he felt dizzy during Tuesday's semi-final against Fluminense in New York, which kicked off at 3pm local time and during which the temperature hit 34C. Extreme weather has been a recurring issue throughout the tournament in the United States and Fernandez hopes lessons are learned before next summer's World Cup is played on the same continent. Fernandez said: 'The truth is, the heat is incredible. The other day I got a little dizzy in the game. I had to throw myself to the ground because I was really dizzy. 'Honestly, playing in that temperature is very dangerous and obviously, for the spectacle, for the people who come to enjoy the stadium, and for the people who watch at home, the speed of the game isn't the same. Everything feels very slow. 'We hope they change the schedule next year so that it's a spectacle and football continues to be enjoyable and attractive.' Fernandez was speaking ahead of Sunday's final in which Chelsea will play Paris St Germain, also at the MetLife Stadium and also at 3pm, when it is forecasted to be 30C. His comments come after former Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann, who is now a member of world governing body FIFA's technical study group, defended the scheduling of some games during the hottest parts of the day. Klinsmann, a World Cup-winner in 1990 who also played in the 1994 tournament in the US, said: 'The heat is difficult. If you play in 90-degree heat then you are going to suffer. 'This has been something completely new and you have to deal with the circumstances. If a World Cup is in Qatar then you have to adapt. Football is about being able to adapt. 'I played in Dallas at 120 degrees and I was dying! But do I go to Qatar like Germany and complain, complain and bring karma – and then go home early? 'The teams here now and the teams here next summer will have to adapt. It's not always nice, especially for European teams, but they will have to adapt.'

Fernandez admits Club World Cup temperatures left him "dizzy" during a match
Chelsea have had to weather intense heat out in the United States in their bid to win the Club World Cup with midfielder Enzo Fernandez admitting the conditions affected him during a game Enzo Fernandez has warned 'very dangerous' temperatures in the Club World Cup have left him feeling 'really dizzy.' Chelsea midfielder Fernandez has also urged FIFA to review their schedules and kick-off times ahead of next year's World Cup which is being hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Fernandez was part of Argentina's World Cup winning squad in 2022 but says the heat in America is ruining football as a spectacle and is also bad for fans in stadiums. When quizzed about the temperatures, Fernandez said: 'Thanks for asking this question, because the truth is, the heat is incredible. The other day I got a little dizzy in the game. I had to throw myself to the ground because I was really dizzy. 'The truth is, playing in that temperature is very dangerous. And for the spectacle, for the people who come to enjoy the stadium, and for the people who watch at home, the speed of the game isn't the same. 'Everything feels very slow. We hope they change the schedule next year so that it's a spectacle and football continues to be enjoyable and attractive.' Chelsea's last game in the MetLife Stadium saw temperatures hit 100 degrees-plus at pitch side for their clash with Fluminense. They will kick off against Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday's final at the same time with similar temperatures forecasted. FIFA organisers have yet to reveal the kick-off times for next summer but their Global Football Development officer Arsene Wenger has suggested they will look at staging games with earlier kick-off times in stadiums with roofs such as Atlanta. Wenger also hinted they may look at the schedule on the back of the Club World Cup which largely has been organised with European TV schedules in mind. Sunday's 3pm kick-off time means it will be shown at 8pm in the United Kingdom. Fernandez admits PSG will be strong favourites on Sunday - but says they can cause an upset in the £97m final. He added: 'Well, it's normal they're talking about Paris, the Champions League winners. They've been playing well for a while now but we hope Sunday will be a good final for us. It's the final. I like playing them. I've been lucky enough to win most of them. I'm going to enjoy it. It's not like the one in the World Cup but it's going to be enjoyable. "The truth is I have achieved some very nice things on a personal level but being in a hotel for a month wasn't easy at all. As you know, enjoying time with family when I can is very important to me. This title is very important for the club. It's very important to play for the best clubs in the world and we believe it's a great title for the club. We'll try to prepare for the match in the best way possible. 'We plan to play a certain way, whatever our coach decides. In the few days we have left before the game we need to prepare as best we can and carry it out on Sunday.'

Jofra Archer is England's Jasprit Bumrah, Joe Root declares after the fast bowler made 'X-factor' return in third Test against India
Joe Root declared it a pure joy to witness Jofra Archer 's latest fast bowling theatre at Lord's after the 2019 World Cup hero struck with his third ball back in Test cricket. Archer, 30, had a full house of 30,000 on its feet when he ended a four-year absence with a ferocious first over from the pavilion end, including the dismissal of India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. 'It was class, wasn't it? That atmosphere - it was a genuine joy seeing him back playing Test cricket. Everyone's excitement to see him playing again,' said Root. 'Bowling 94mph, getting a wicket first over, that's the kind of player he is. He's clearly X-factor. Someone that does things others can't. He complements nicely what we've already got in the attack. 'It's a bit like India turning to Jasprit Bumrah. He can create something different for you. It's great to see him being so impactful and keeping his pace up. There's more to come from him.' Root began the day unbeaten on 99, having woken up at 1.30am playing every possible dismissal over in his head, and although he put overnight jitters behind him by celebrating a 37th Test hundred, he was dismissed soon afterwards by Bumrah, who marked his return after being rested in India's win at Edgbaston last week with a five-wicket haul. England looked like folding in the wake of Bumrah's burst, but a partnership of 84 between Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse hoisted them to 387 and India resume this morning on 145 for three. Following his five for 75, Bumrah reckoned a match on a sluggish surface is finely balanced, adding: 'We don't come here very often. You never know how many matches you'll get to play here. As a child, you see a lot of Test cricket played here. Being on the honours board feels good.'
