WILL THERE BE A GIANT PARKING PROBLEM AT PAC BELL BALLPARK?

          Parking spaces at the MLB Giants new Pac Bell Park "are
     at such a premium" that the team has scheduled only 13
     weekday games, "the minimum amount permitted" by MLB, in its
     inaugural season at the new ballpark, according to Gregory
     Lewis of the S.F. EXAMINER.  The ballpark, scheduled to open
     in April 2000, will have 42,000 seats "but only 5,000 off-
     street spaces."  Officials believe they need 12,000 to
     13,000 parking spaces for each game, "but both the Giants
     and The City are counting on public transit ... and expanded
     ferry services to carry the bulk of fans to and from the
     stadium" (Gregory Lewis, S.F. EXAMINER, 8/19).
