PAYING THEIR DUES? RAVENS OWE $$, BUT SAY THEY'LL MAKE GOOD

          The "cash-strapped" Ravens "have received leniency from
     their landlords" in city and state government on more than
     $2.5M in bills, according to Jon Morgan of the Baltimore
     SUN.  Owings Mills, MD, real estate officer Anthony Ambridge
     said that the team "hasn't paid" a balance of $425,753.17
     over a three-year period at its training facility.  Ambridge
     said that the city "failed to bill" the Ravens until this
     month "due to a bureaucratic mix-up."  The team said it will
     pay the bill.  Morgan added that the Ravens haven't "paid
     for most of the cost of a gourmet kitchen built at its
     request" on the upper concourse of PSINet Stadium.  The MD
     Stadium Authority "gave the Ravens permission to pay the
     balance due" in February, when the team "receives its share"
     of the NFL TV rights fee (Baltimore SUN, 12/11).
