SOX OWNER HARRINGTON AND BOSTON MAYOR TO DISCUSS BALLPARK

          Red Sox Owner John Harrington and Boston Mayor Thomas
     Menino will meet before the MLB opener to discuss the team's
     search for a new stadium in what may be "a new chapter in
     another local stadium saga," according to Richard Chacon of
     the BOSTON GLOBE.  The last time Harrington and Menino
     discussed a new or renovated Fenway Park was two years ago,
     when the Megaplex proposal for a combined convention center
     and stadium was considered.  In February, city officials
     "casually" proposed expanding one side of Fenway Park over
     the MA Turnpike, but Gov. William Weld signed a bill
     yesterday that "might affect" Fenway negotiations.  The
     legislation requires the Turnpike Authority to sign a
     memorandum of understanding with the City of Boston for
     future development projects.  Red Sox officials "have
     expressed concerns about the feasibility" of expanding the
     current Fenway site (BOSTON GLOBE, 3/21).
