SAFECO AT HOME? MARINERS INAUGURAL GAME AT BALLPARK AT NIGHT

          The Mariners have sold 55 of the 61 luxury suites in
     Safeco Field, and only 40 of the 352 Diamond Club seats,
     located behind home plate, remain, according to Blaine
     Newnham of the SEATTLE TIMES.  But the "toughest sell" has
     been the PSLs, with a one time cost of $12,000 to $25,000
     for a 25-year lease on the seat.  Half of those remain
     unsold (SEATTLE TIMES, 2/25).  Construction on the ballpark
     is "four weeks behind schedule."  While officials "doubt the
     planned July 15 opening will be delayed," making up the lost
     time "could cause further cost overruns" at the $498M
     ballpark (SEATTLE TIMES, 2/24).
