SEAHAWKS FEEL LITTLE LOVE IN SEATTLE WITH STADIUM DELAY

          Saturday's groundbreaking for the Seahawks' new stadium
     "has been postponed due to an ongoing dispute over the
     terms" of team Owner Paul Allen's lease, according to Leslie
     Brown of the Tacoma NEWS TRIBUNE.  The stadium board and
     First & Goal Inc., Allen's company overseeing stadium
     construction, are still in the midst of what one board
     member called "feverish negotiations" over issues, including
     rent, reserves to be set aside for stadium maintenance and
     the role of the public stadium board in providing oversight. 
     Board Member Robert Dilger: "We want oversight, and we don't
     want that oversight defined by Paul Allen."  While the board
     wants to see that enough money from ticket sales is set
     aside for stadium maintenance, Dilger said Allen's
     representatives don't want them "to have that kind of
     authority, fearing the board could price tickets too high
     and put a dent in attendance."  Construction on the stadium
     is scheduled to begin this fall (Tacoma NEWS TRIBUNE, 9/15).
