SAN FRANCISCO REWARDED WITH SUPER BOWL XXXIII

     "The NFL's spread-the-wealth philosophy on Super Bowl sites
plucked about $200 million from South Florida's pocket Wednesday
as San Francisco won the 1999 game."  NFL owners said they were
satisfied that a proposed $26M renovation of Candlestick Park was
guaranteed.  That assurance overcame Miami's advantages in
weather and $2M more in projected revenue for the league.  A
league source said the final vote was 18-10 (Greg Cote, MIAMI
HERALD, 11/3).
     ATLANTA IN 2000?  Atlanta Sports Council's Robert Morgan
said that Atlanta's hopes of hosting the Super Bowl were boosted
with the selection of San Francisco in 1999.  Morgan: "I'm not
sure owners would have wanted Miami and Atlanta back-to-back."
NFL Exec Dir Jim Steeg said the site for Super Bowl XXXIV will be
selected next October, with Atlanta bidding against Houston,
Miami, Pasadena, Phoenix and Tampa (Len Pasquarelli, ATLANTA
