The Boston Redevelopment Authority's unreleased draft of
recommendations for a proposed downtown megaplex includes
delaying construction of a 70,000-seat domed stadium until
traffic concerns are further explored.  State legislative leaders
suggest building the convention center on a site which could
later accomodate a stadium, but, as one source said:  "There
doesn't appear to be a site in Boston that can easily
accommodate" the number of cars leaving the city on game days.
If a stadium is omitted, the Weld administration is expected to
reccommend state aid to refurbish Foxboro Stadium (Meg
Vaillancourt, BOSTON GLOBE, 9/11).

     Jackson County Sports Complex Authority has agreed to pay
Cleveland's S.W. Franks Construction Co. close to $2M to install
natural grass, a new warning track, and fences in Royals'
Kauffman Stadium (K.C. STAR, 9/9)....The San Francisco Recreation
and Park Commission will decide on the new lease with the Giants
at Candlestick Park.  Giants VP Larry Baer said the pact would
extend the lease by five years and eliminate a clause requiring
the city to pay for the team's defense if sued for leaving
Candlestick Park (S.F. CHRONICLE, 9/9). ....IHL Knights President
and co-owner Richard Adler announced that funding is set for a
new $120M, 22,000 seat arena and 20,000 seat amphitheater in
Alpharetta outside Atlanta.  Hawks Exec VP Lee Douglas said
Adler's plans don't affect Turner Broadcasting's efforts to build
a new arena in Atlanta as a way of luring an NHL franchise
(ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 9/10).

     Spectacor and CoreStates Financial Corp. announced a $40M,
29-year marketing contract Friday which includes renaming
Philadelphia's Spectrum Arena as the CoreStates Spectrum and its
unfinished neighbor (formerly Spectrum 2) as the CoreStates
Center.  Spectacor founder and owner Ed Snider "said he felt a
little bit of regret" about having to sell the arena's name, but
that he made the deal to avoid raising ticket prices to pay for
construction.  CoreStates will get exclusive marketing and
financial services rights in the arena, as well as placement of
its name throughout the complex, including the roof.  CoreStates'
logo will also appear on arena workers' uniforms and event
tickets, and all broadcasts, advertising and publicity materials
will "prominently" CoreStates.  The deal includes an annual rent-
free corporate event, space for four advertising dioramas per
arena, and access to luxury suites and meeting rooms in the
complex (Gary Miles, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 9/10).
