BENGALS HIT CLUB SEAT GOAL; "VIRTUALLY" ASSURED TO STAY

          The Bengals announced Tuesday the sale of 83% of the
     minimum 6,000 club seats needed to fulfill terms of its
     agreement with Hamilton County, "virtually assuring" that
     the team stays in Cincinnati, according to Geoff Hobson of
     the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.  The agreement said goals had to be
     met by April 30 for seat licenses, luxury suites and club
     seats, with the team expected to announce next week it has
     "all but hit" its sales target of 80% for luxury suites. 
     Two weeks ago the team announced it reached the seat license
     goal.  The most expensive club seats -- $1,995 per seat --
     are sold out, with about 2,500 seats in two club seat
     sections still available (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 2/19).
