RED SOX SAY THEY WANT NOMAR TALK OF FENWAY RENOVATION

          As the Red Sox "continue to finalize their plans for a
     new ballpark," the team said yesterday that there is "no way
     the team can renovate Fenway Park because it is
     'economically and physically impractical,'" according to Meg
     Vaillancourt of the BOSTON GLOBE.  The team made the
     comments as preservation group, "Save Fenway Park," prepared
     to unveil a new plan calling for a renovated Fenway, which
     consists of expanding capacity to 44,000 and adding 72
     luxury suites.  Red Sox ballpark spokesperson Kathryn Murray
     St. John acknowledged the appeal of a renovated Fenway, but
     said, "Our architects and engineers have reviewed many
     renovation options over the past four years and in their
     expert opinion it simply is not structurally advisable or
     economically practical to renovate" (BOSTON GLOBE, 5/13).
