          In Denver, Alan Snel writes that Mayor Wellington Webb
     "predicted" yesterday that the city and Avalanche/Nuggets
     parent Ascent Entertainment Group "will nail down the Pepsi
     Center deal before the Stanley Cup playoffs are done next
     month" (DENVER POST, 5/15).  Also in Denver, NFL Senior VP
     Roger Goodell visited on Wednesday and told the Denver
     stadium board that remodeling Mile High "could be filled
     with pitfalls" (ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 5/15)....In response to
     the City of Jacksonville's concerns about "getting
     shortchanged" in the Alltel Corp. naming rights deal for
     Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, the Jaguars will submit a
     new contract to the city council tomorrow (FLORIDA TIMES-
     UNION, 5/15)....Joe Montana told the S.F. EXAMINER's Capps &
     Opatrny that he is "considering" campaigning for the 49ers'
     stadium plan.  Team management asked Montana on Monday to
     join the campaign (S.F. EXAMINER, 5/14).
