TRIBE MAKES BOFFO OFFER TO LURE DODGERS FROM FLORIDA

          The Fort McDowell Indian Community in AZ "has made its
     best offer" to the Dodgers, who are "contemplating leaving"
     their spring training home in Vero Beach, FL, after 51
     years, according to Bill Shaikin of the L.A. TIMES.  Fort
     McDowell officials said that the tribe would spend $40M to
     build a 12,000-seat stadium, six practice fields and offices
     on a 76-acre site.  Shaikin reports that the Dodgers would
     then sign a 25-year lease.  Tribal attorney Edward Roybal:
     "This is the best the tribe can do.  It will have to expire
     sometime"  (L.A. TIMES, 7/2).
