MAGIC EYE RENOVATION PLANS; QUESTIONS ON WHO WILL PAY TAB

          Renovations to the Orlando Arena could cost $50M, "but
     how much of the tab taxpayers or the [Magic] pick up has not
     been decided," according to Dan Tracy of the ORLANDO
     SENTINEL.  Among renovation options are: Installing a new
     food court; Building an undetermined number of midlevel
     suites along the lower bowl; Taking out some lower-bowl
     seats and replacing them with larger ones.  The SENTINEL's
     Tracy writes that city officials, "while open to
     suggestions, are wary of the mid-level suites and club
     seating because they could reduce the lower-level capacity
     for other events, such as financially lucrative concerts." 
     That would cut revenue to the city, which makes most of its
     arena money on non-athletic events (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 7/7).
