POOR AD SALES FORCE OAKLAND/ALAMEDA TO REVIEW RAIDERS LEASE

     On the same day that the Oakland City Council and the
Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to issue $140M in joint
bonds for the reconstruction of Oakland Coliseum Arena, the two
bodies considered changes in the 16-year lease between the
Coliseum and the Raiders.  According to Tara Shioya of the S.F.
CHRONICLE, changes would give the Raiders incentive to help
billboard and broadcast sales which have been "disappointing" due
to poor A's attendance and construction work on the stadium.
Under the current lease, the first $3.5M generated by ad revenue
goes to the A's, the next $500,000 to the Coliseum and the next
$500,000 to the Raiders.  In the proposed lease, after the $3.5M
to the A's, all revenue would be divided equally between the
Coliseum and the Raiders.  Also, the Raiders would build 139
rather than 175 luxury suites, with remaining boxes to be added
whenever demand arose (S.F. CHRONICLE, 6/12).
