          NOTES:  ALC = GA Tech's Alexander Coliseum; GAD =
     Georgia Dome.  The Hawks are splitting their home games
     between the two facilities while their new arena is
     constructed.  "'96-97 AVG." is based on the same number
     of dates at the Omni.  Both Philadelphia and Toronto
     have decreased capacity from '96-97; Detroit has
     increased capacity.  Washington played its first five
     games at US Airways Arena. "'96-97 AVG." is based on
     the same number of home dates played so far in '97-98.
