2.29.2000

          Though the Tigers "haven't even kicked off" their 2000
     advertising campaign, 22,500 20-game and 81-game ticket
     packages have been sold for the inaugural season at Comerica
     Park, according to Becky Yerak of the DETROIT NEWS, who
     notes that single-game tickets will go on sale Saturday. 
     Yerak reports that 1,400 premium seats "still remain
     available," while only two luxury suites are left.  In other
     news, Pepsi "is about to replace" Coca-Cola as the team's
     soft-drink sponsor.  Meanwhile, McDonald's is "considering
     opening" a restaurant at the ballpark (DETROIT NEWS, 2/29).
