FACILITY NOTES

          Red Sox Exec VP John Buckley said the club "was not
     ready to present a specific plan" for a new stadium yet. 
     Characterizing the project as a "public-private
     partnership," Buckley said, "We've got to have a financing
     plan that makes sense.  We don't have that."  He also said
     that before any plan could be unveiled, the team "wanted to
     do more groundwork with fans and neighbors" (BOSTON GLOBE,
     4/23)....CO Gov. Roy Romer approved a plan to use public
     money for a new Broncos stadium, "clearing the way for a

     should have the opportunity to vote on this issue" (DENVER
     POST, 4/23)....The Winston-Salem, NC, board of aldermen "has
     decided not to take a position on a proposal to use
     taxpayers' money" to build a $210M MLB stadium in the Triad

     broke ground on a hockey and figure skating facility in
