STADIUM NOTES

          In Football Northwest's plan to show that a proposed
     new Seahawks stadium would be a multi-use facility,
     statewide newspaper ads broke Monday touting the proposed
     stadium as a potential venue for pro and amateur soccer,
     trade shows and community festivals (SEATTLE TIMES,
     5/13)....An editorial in today's Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE,
     on the failure of a Twins ballpark financing bill: "What the
     stadium issue has revealed at the State Capitol this year is
     the Minnesota Legislature at its worst. ... this was an
     accident that had waited almost the entire session to happen
     -- the unintended consequence of 19 weeks of leaderless
     confusion, timidity and hypocrisy" (Minneapolis STAR
     TRIBUNE, 5/14)....OH-based Huntington National Bank is
     donating $5M to the construction of OSU's Schottenstein
     Center for naming rights to one of the arena's main
     concourses (COLUMBUS DISPATCH, 5/13).
