MAGIC FLUTIE LEADS BUYERS TO CLUB SEATS IN BILLS STADIUM

          The Bills sold "more than" 500 new sideline club seats
     in the five days since Bills QB Doug Flutie helped beat the
     Jaguars last Sunday, according to Gene Warner of the BUFFALO
     NEWS.  Reaching the December 1 goal of $11M in luxury and
     club seat sales to keep the team in Buffalo, "considered
     almost unthinkable two weeks ago, now seems like a
     possibility."  Sales of luxury boxes and club seats "have
     climbed" to $8.9M, and "unless the sales effort falls apart
     completely, insiders expect the bottom-line figure to exceed
     $10 million, with enough sales momentum to persuade the
     Bills to stay."  Warner wrote that last week, 180
     "prospective" buyers toured Bills Stadium, and "almost" 75%
     took purchase contracts with them (BUFFALO NEWS, 10/23).  
          HELP ON THE WAY: In Toronto, Sun Media President & CEO
     Paul Godfrey has helped the Bills promote club seat sales by
     taking "on a promotion" of 450 seats.  Most of  his support
     has come "in the form of ads" for the club seats in the 140-
     newspaper Sun Media chain (TORONTO SUN, 10/26).
