FACILITY NOTES

          NHL: Raleigh's Centennial Authority has asked the
     Hurricanes to contribute $20M for its new arena, a figure
     which is "at least" $8M "more than" the team's original
     commitment.  Should the Hurricanes agree, and "both sides
     say they are very close," the arena would get a "long list
     of extra amenities," including 20 extra luxury suites and
     added media space.  The team is scheduled to begin play in
     Raleigh for the '99-2000 season (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER,
     10/22)....A lawsuit alleging that the NHL Panthers new arena
     failed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
     has been dropped, after the plaintiffs in the suit
     "satisfied themselves" that the arena would comply with the
     act (SOUTH FLORIDA BUSINESS JOURNAL, 10/20 issue).
          MLB: In St. Louis, the Cardinals "will make" $4-5M
     worth of improvements to Busch Stadium before next season,
     including a new picnic area in right field.  The team is
     also considering renovating the park's suite level to create
     more party rooms and luxury suites, and adding more seats
     behind home plate (ST. LOUIS BUSINESS JOURNAL, 10/20 issue).
