STADIUM NOTES

          In Toronto, Lancy Hornby notes a plan to expand Maple
     Leaf Gardens remains a "distant possibility."  The plan
     involves knocking out the west wall and changing the rink's
     layout from north-south to east-west, while increasing
     capacity to 21,000 (TORONTO SUN, 2/12)....The Raptors are
     eyeing March 12 as a possible ground breaking ceremony for
     the Air Canada Center site (TORONTO SUN, 2/12)....In
     Minneapolis, a bill proposed Monday to put 1,500 slot
     machines at Canterbury Park racetrack and donate a portion
     of revenues to area sports teams would give $17M annually to
     a new Twins' stadium, $6M to the Vikings stadium needs and
     $3M for St. Paul's NHL effort, according to the bill's
     author, State Sen. Dick Day (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE,
     2/12)....Packers President Bob Harlan said the team, seeking
     additional revenue sources, is considering leasing out
     Lambeau Field for concerts this summer.  Harlan estimated
     the team could earn as much as $250,000 per concert
     (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 2/12).
