FACILITY NOTES

          Miller Park general contractor HCH Joint Venture "has
     agreed to pay" $2M in a partial settlement of the lawsuit
     filed in connection with the deaths of three workers in last
     July's crane accident at the construction site.  In the
     partial settlement to the families of the three workers, HCH
     "does not admit to anything wrong," but "remains a defendant
     in the suit and could pay further damages," which are
     "capped" at $102M due to the amount of liability insurance
     coverage on the project (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 1/18).
          OTHER NOTES: A BOSTON HERALD editorial noted the Red
     Sox' "expected" argument that $300M in public funds for
     their new ballpark is "a much smaller share ... than has
     been typical in other cities" for similar projects.  The
     editorial stated, "It's an interesting fact -- but a largely
     irrelevant one. ... The relevant question ought to be, what
     will the public get in return for its contribution?" (BOSTON
     HERALD, 1/17)....Vikings Owner Red McCombs, on the team's
     desire for a new stadium: "The Vikings cannot survive in the
     Metrodome.  It won't work.  We felt like we'd have a plan in
     place by now.  We don't.  So, the clock is ticking on that"
     (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 1/18)....The retractable roof
     stadium for Houston's new NFL franchise will be built by
     Beers, a U.S. subsidiary of Swedish construction company
     Skanska AB.  Dallas-based Manhattan Construction will assist
     on the project (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 1/15).
