ON THE PROWL: GREENSBORO AF2 FRANCHISE REVEALS NAME, LOGO

          Greensboro's af2 expansion franchise will be called the
     "Prowlers" after "a product" of corporate sponsor Chrysler,
     according to Angela Clare of the Greensboro NEWS & RECORD,
     who noted that the team will play eight home games at the
     Greensboro Coliseum beginning in April 2000.  The team's
     three-year financial agreement with the Coliseum gives the
     facility a percentage of the team's profits "rather than a
     set lump sum."  The Prowlers will pay $5,500 per game and
     10% of the profits of more than $50,000.  The Coliseum "will
     receive all parking proceeds" and 75% of concession sales,
     with the final 25% "going to the team."  Team co-Owner Art
     Donaldson said ticket sales need to reach 6,000-7,000 for
     the team's owners to break even (NEWS & RECORD, 11/12).
