A TRIP TO THE WILD WILL COST MN HOCKEY FANS BETWEEN $10-64

          Ticket prices for the Wild's inaugural season next year
     at the new 18,600-seat St. Paul arena will range from $10-
     64, according to Gary Olson of the ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS. 
     Around 1,500 seats in the upper level will cost $10 per game
     and about 2,500 in the upper level will cost $26.  More than
     1,000 of the least expensive tickets will be "held back" for
     individual game sales.  In the lower bowl, sideline seats
     will cost $64, corner seats $54 and seats behind the goals
     will be $44.  The average ticket price for the team's first
     season is $43.91, just below the NHL average of $45.70
     (PIONEER PRESS, 11/20).  The arena will have about 9,000
     lower bowl seats and 4,000 in the upper bowl.  There will be
     2,800 club seats and 74 private suites, costing between
     $75,000-140,000 per year.  Sixty-four suites have been sold
     on a seasonal basis, eight will be available for single-game
     use and the team will use two (STAR TRIBUNE, 11/20).
