WHAT'S THE BUZZZ? UT TO PUT SOCCER TEAM IN NEW FACILITY

          UT-based ANA Development will build a new $25M stadium
     and direct the team operations of the new United Soccer
     League Utah Blitzz, according to Kurt Kragthorpe of the SALT
     LAKE TRIBUNE.  The team will start playing in April in the
     soccer-specific stadium to be located in West Valley City. 
     The "privately-funded" facility will initially have a
     capacity of 5,500, but expansion plans call for "at least
     12,000" (S.L. TRIBUNE, 9/23).  Also in UT, the Elmore Sports
     Group, which owns the World Indoor Soccer League UT Freezz
     and IHL Grizzlies, has purchased the Pioneer League's
     Medicine Hat (Alberta) baseball team (S.L. TRIBUNE, 9/19).
