MIAMI BLUES: HEAT AND PANTHERS HAVING ARENA TROUBLES

          The Heat "expressed frustration Tuesday that
     negotiations on the new arena have stalled, but the team
     remains committed to the proposed bayfront site," according
     to Linda Robertson of the MIAMI HERALD.  Jay Cross,
     President of Business Ops: "As far as we're concerned, there
     is no other site."  The Heat recently began talks with Miami
     Arena "about extending the team's lease," which runs through
     next season (MIAMI HERALD, 6/18).  
          BROWARD V. HUIZENGA: Also in Miami, Meg James writes
     that a "another scuffle broke out" between Broward County
     and Panthers Owner Wayne Huizenga's "forces" over
     development of the Panthers' new arena.  The argument
     centers on "who should guarantee payments" for a $12M
     Sawgrass Expressway interchange for fans to drive directly
     into the new arena complex in Sunrise" (MIAMI HERALD, 6/18).
