LAP OF LUXURY: WHICH STADIUMS HAVE THE SWEETEST SUITES

          In an effort to generate additional revenue, NFL teams
     are trying "to outdo each other with increasingly flashy
     luxury boxes" which can "represent half of a team's profit,"
     according to Sam Walker of the WALL STREET JOURNAL, who
     ranks some of the top luxury facilities in the NFL.  Among
     the luxury perks: At Oakland/Alameda County Coliseum,
     electric windows "glide open at the push of a button," and
     retired players knock on the suite doors at halftime.  At
     the GA Dome, the Falcons "throw in free theater tickets and
     cooking classes for boxholders," while Giants Stadium
     "thanked" its suite holders last year with miniature crystal
     footballs from Tiffany & Co.  The JOURNAL's Suite Study
     ranks winners and losers, with team revenue from luxury
     suites in parentheses.  WINNERS: Redskins ($15M), Bucs ($13-
     15M), Cowboys ($13M), Giants/Jets ($12M), Ravens ($12M). 
     LOSERS: Broncos ($4M), 49ers ($4M), Chiefs ($3.5M), Bills
     ($3M), Lions ($0) (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 10/30).
