          The A's have signed a multi-year deal with PepsiCo,
     giving the brand exclusive carbonated pouring rights and
     sponsorship at Network Associates Coliseum.  Pepsi, which

     and the facility, will have its signage and logos featured

     and concession stands -- as well as in printed materials and
     on the A's Web site.  The deal includes promotional
     opportunities for the Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi ONE, Mountain
     Dew, Mug and Storm brands.  Conversion from Coca-Cola to
     Pepsi signage is expected to be completed by today (A's).
