MILLER PARK LEASE PLAN GETS FINAL STAMP OF APPROVAL

          In Milwaukee, the stadium board completed its financing
     plan for the Brewers' new ballpark by adopting a "long-
     discussed proposal" to lease $45M worth of equipment,
     according to Kenneth Lamke of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL
     SENTINEL.  The $45M is in addition to the $250M construction
     cost of the retractable roof stadium and $72M in
     infrastructure costs.  Also, administrative costs for the
     board's staff and for consulting, legal and other fees will
     total $27M by the time the new ballpark opens in 2000. 
     After that, board administrative costs will be less than $1M
     a year (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 8/22).
