TORONTO LOOKING TO MAKE ANOTHER TRADE: ARENA USE FOR SUITE

          The City of Toronto "wants to trade some of its rights
     to use the Air Canada Centre as a venue for community events
     in return for a 12-seat corporate box," according to Paul
     Moloney of the TORONTO STAR.  The trade would "represent a
     major change from an earlier agreement" in which the city
     sold land in exchange for C$100,000 in cash and use of the
     arena for six days a year for 20 years. But City Councillor
     Chris Korwin-Kuczynski said the box -- including game
     tickets -- would be available to community groups who
     couldn't afford to attend games.  It would also be used to
     "entertain visiting VIPs" (TORONTO STAR, 2/23).
          FOOD FRONT: STAR restaurant critic Cynthia Wine reviews
     the concession offerings at the new arena and writes, "The
     food has the SkyDome beat by a mile.  It is less expensive
     and tastes better.  At each price level, there is greater
     variety and better quality" (TORONTO STAR, 2/23).
