Any guesses on what might be in the time capsule?

I doubt anything made of paper survived.

Time capsule
 
I recall there being a story of memorabilia from the 33 inning game being stowed away in a time capsule

Oh wow! I have been to that stadium a few times with my brother in the 1980's on different baseball trips. We loved that stadium.

We met an older gentleman that was a retired writer for a local newspaper and talked with him a lot during the game. After the game was over, he took us down to the offices to meet with the owner of the team. We talked briefly, maybe about 15 minutes and was really nice that he took the time for us to visit. I remember he had a few pictures of T-206's hanging in his office. It was an awesome night!

I was very sad to see that the stadium is no more but I would love to see what is in the time capsules. I wish I had some kind of memorabilia from the stadium. At least I have the memories.

Didn’t realize the stadium was coming down. Cross that off the bucket list. :(

Here's a news video from the ceremony where they unveiled the contents of time capsule a few days ago - it focuses more on the recent time capsule tied to that game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSmA2-XB2go

Here are a few pictures of McCoy Stadium when my bother and I were there in the early to mid 1980's when I was about 23 years old.

Cool video in that the guy that helped bury one of the time capsules was there at the ceremony.
