THE GARDENS OF EDEN: ARENA SET TO HOST FINAL HOCKEY GAME

          The Maple Leafs will play their final game at Maple
     Leaf Gardens on Saturday and two Toronto ticket brokers were
     "each asking" C$1,000 for a gold ticket for Saturday's game
     (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 2/10).  Police and security guards
     "are being especially vigilant" against people "trying to
     get away with bigger souvenirs" from the Leafs' final games
     at MLG, "such as seats" (EDMONTON SUN, 2/11).
          TOUGH TICKETS: Even though the Maple Leafs are moving
     from the 15,700-seat MLG to the 18,800-seat Air Canada
     Centre, tickets will still be hard to come by because seats
     "which ordinarily might have been offered to the general
     public have been eaten up by team sponsors."  Air Canada
     Centre Dir of Ticketing Chris Overhalt said "there won't be
     more than a couple of hundred available" for each of the
     Leaf's 14 games at the arena.  The rest, about 16,000, were
     purchased by season-ticket holders (TORONTO SUN, 2/9).
