          NOTES: (^) Oakland's first six home games in '96 were     played at 9,300-seat Cashman Field in Las Vegas.  Both     Oakland and Cleveland have increased capacity slightly from     '96, while Minnesota and Detroit have decreased capacity.       Anaheim Stadium, currently being renovated, has capacity     listed at 34,000, down from 64,406 in '96.  The '96     comparison is of average attendance through the same number     of dates.  Due to the shortened '95 season, the '95     comparison is of the final season average.                              -30-
