MONEY IN THE BANC: COLUMBUS NAMING RIGHTS SELL FOR $35M

          Banc One Corp. will pay $35M for naming rights for the
     Greater Columbus Sports and Entertainment District, which
     includes a proposed new arena and stadium.  The proposed
     30,000 seat open-air stadium will serve as home to the MLS
     Crew, while a 21,000 seat arena is set to host the ECHL
     Chill, as well as a possible NHL team. The project, which
     needs private investment before being placed on a ballot for
     approval, will be 20% funded by private dollars, a three-
     year, half-percent sales tax and state money and grants.  If
     approved, both facilities would open in 2000 (CCDC).
