SUITE OR SOUR? MILLER PARK SUITEHOLDERS COULD BE IN LIMBO

          Due to the delayed opening of Miller Park, the 20
     companies that have already paid over $500,000 to the
     Brewers for deposits on Founders Club field-level suites at
     the ballpark now "face the possibility that they will get no
     value for their money for a full year," according to Kenneth
     Lamke of the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL.  But the team,
     which is "expected to announce soon" that the opening of the
     ballpark will delayed until April 2001, says that "won't
     happen."  Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce
     President Tim Sheehy "raised" the question about the
     $500,000 deposits for the suites and "suggested that the
     suiteholders would probably expect some return on their
     money."  Brewers VP/Corporate Affairs Laurel Prieb said it 
     "would be premature for the club to announce a solution
     until it knows for sure how long the delay will be."  Prieb
     noted that the suites cost $100,000 annually and require
     ten-year leases, but "declined to comment" on the $500,000
     deposits (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 9/10).
