            NOTES:  BAL = Baltimore Arena; HAM = Hamilton's     Copps Coliseum; MPLF = Maple Leaf Gardens.  Toronto has     increased capacity from last season for SkyDome, and     this is its first season playing games at Maple Leaf     Gardens.  Philadelphia is playing at the larger     CoreStates Center.  Orlando and New Jersey have each     played one home game in Japan, which is not included.     "'95-96 AVG." is based on the same number of home dates     teams have played so far in '96-97.  For the season,     the league averaged 17,077 per game and played at 90%     capacity.                                -30-
