49ERS ENVIOUS OF OAKLAND IMPROVEMENTS

     With all of the changes that the Oakland Coliseum is
undergoing now that the Raiders are back, 49ers President Carmen
Policy claims he wants a new stadium, according to Ira Miller in
today's SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE.  Policy:  "I think it's a sin
for us to subject our fans to a stadium that's inferior to what
Oakland has provided.  That has now accelerated our obligation
and our desire to get a new stadium."  Miller notes, however,
that the 49ers are "not threatening to leave the area."  Policy:
"Whatever we do, we're going to do in concert with the community.
We're not going to be adversaries" (SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE,
9/1).
