BUCS COMMITTED TO TAMPA AS LEASE CHANGE GIVES BACK $30M

          The Bucs "formally agreed Tuesday to a change demanded
     by the city and county to their lease on a new football
     stadium," according to Joe Henderson of the TAMPA TRIBUNE.
     The lease change would provide "at least" $30M over the term
     of the lease back to the Tampa Sports Authority (TSA).  Bucs
     VP Joel Glazer "made it clear" the Bucs aren't talking to
     other cities "as a backup" if the lease "falls through
     because of a legal challenge."  Glazer: "L.A. is not on the
     back burner.  We are here in Tampa.  We are here to stay for
     30 years."  The Hillsborough County Commission is set to
     "review" today whether to back part of a "nearly" $10M loan
     to continue construction until July, when a ruling on the
     complaint filed by former Tampa Mayor Bill Poe is expected
     from the FL Supreme Court.  The Tampa City Council also has
     to approve the loan to the TSA (TAMPA TRIBUNE, 4/16).
