STADIUM NOTES

          In Miami, Metro-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas turned down the
     Heat's suggestion that Knight Ridder Chair Tony Ridder
     mediate negotiations between Penelas and Miami Mayor Joe
     Carollo over the land value of the 59-acre waterfront
     property proposed for the new Heat arena.  The site is owned
     by the city (MIAMI HERALD, 6/26).  Penelas: "It's my
     responsibility to get the job done.  I'm not going to
     relinquish that responsibility" (Fort Lauderdale SUN-
     SENTINEL, 6/26)....In Denver, although sources are saying a
     deal for the Pepsi Center is "fundamentally complete," City
     Attorney Dan Muse said there are several "open issues" left
     to be resolved between Ascent Entertainment and the city. 
     He declined to elaborate (DENVER POST, 6/26)....RFK Stadium
     has been chosen as the site for the final stages of the
     CONCACAF Champions Cup, an international soccer tournament
     involving top professional teams in North America, to take
     place in August (WASHINGTON POST, 6/25).
