RENOVATION AT RALPH WILSON STADIUM IS NEARLY COMPLETE

          The seven-month renovation of Ralph Wilson Stadium is
     "almost 90 percent complete," according to Leo Roth of the
     Rochester DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE.  At one point, the project
     employed "up to 600 at a time working double shifts" in
     order to finish construction on "nearly 10,000 more luxury
     seats."  The 76 new luxury suites atop the stadium's lower
     bowl, positioned 40 rows from the field, "quickly sold out,
     some at $81,000 per season."  Bills Treasurer Jeffrey
     Littmann, on the suites' location: "We were determined to
     get our premium customer a premium sightline.  We kept
     looking and finally found that cavernous space."  Also, the
     new club level features 6,800 "heated seats," of which
     "nearly all have sold in prices ranging from $769 to $1,169
     per season."  The new design features three indoor country
     club-like concourses, replaces the aluminum benches in the
     lower bowl with individual armchairs and upgrades the
     lighting and sound systems (DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE, 7/18).
