STADIUM NOTES

          The $86.6M in Detroit/Wayne County Stadium Authority
     bonds series '97, limited tax general obligation, have been
     rated 'BBB+' by Fitch Investors Service (CRAIN'S DETROIT
     BUSINESS, 3/7)....Handicapped Flyers fan Craig Rittase has
     joined one of two federal lawsuits brought by disabled
     veterans against the CoreStates Center and the City of
     Philadelphia, alleging that the arena is violating the
     Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.  His efforts to
     watch a game at CoreStates Center is examined in this
     morning's INQUIRER (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 3/10)....Seattle
     police estimated the crowd at Saturday's groundbreaking of
     the Mariners' new stadium to be 15,000, but team broadcaster
     Dave Niehaus put the total at around 30,000 (SEATTLE TIMES,
     3/9)....An editorial in Sunday's HARTFORD COURANT writes
     that CT "must" keep the Whalers in Hartford: "The cost of
     losing Connecticut's major-league sports team will be far
     greater than the cost of building a modern arena" (HARTFORD
     COURANT, 3/9).  This morning, Fleet Bank CEO Richard
     Higginbotham writes an op-ed piece in the COURANT supporting
     a new area for the Whalers under the header, "Arena Needed
     For The 21st Century" (HARTFORD COURANT, 3/10).
