FACILITY NOTES

          The Lipton Championships plan to develop a sports
     complex, along with two other South FL organizations, which
     will include an Arthur Ashe-Butch Bucholz Tennis Center at
     Miami's Moore Park (USA TODAY, 3/16)....After touring the
     under-construction Philips Arena, Colin Campbell writes that
     the "vast roofed saucers of yesteryear are dead," while
     "intimacy" in arenas is "definitely the thing now," as the
     seats at the facility "are all up close" (ATLANTA
     CONSTITUTION, 3/16)....New York City pledged $2.2M toward
     the design of a minor-league baseball stadium for the Mets
     at Coney Island.  The city's Economic Development Corp.
     named Manhattan architect Jack Gordon to design the stadium
     and plans to spend $20M to build it at "no cost to the
     Mets."  Annual rent for the team at the stadium will be
     $100,000-$510,000, depending on attendance (N.Y. DAILY NEWS,
     3/13)....In Newark, George Jordan wrote that arena builder
     LZA Group has signed a long-term lease with plans to "double
     the size of its offices and staff in Newark."  LZA Group is
     currently supervising facility construction in Miami,
     Atlanta, and S.F. "has been tentatively selected to build"
     the Nets' proposed Newark arena (STAR-LEDGER, 3/14).
