RAMS TELL ANAHEIM -- BUILD IT AND WE WILL STAY

     Rams President John Shaw told Save the Rams that the team
would need a new stadium to stay in the L.A. area.  Agent Leigh
Steinberg, spokesperson for Save the Rams, said that "one of the
factors that is really attractive to the Rams in the St. Louis
situation is the presence of an instantly usable football
stadium."  Steinberg said he told Shaw that their plan for a
refurbished Anaheim Stadium would "create the same income
opportunities" of a new stadium, but that Shaw "remained
unconvinced."  Steinberg stressed the 15,000 ticket pledges for
next season and the help of "the Orange County Register and a
major radio station" with that effort (Jim Thomas, ST. LOUIS
POST-DISPATCH, 11/17).
