SOCCER INFERNO! BURN, BABY, BURN A HOT ITEM UP FOR SALE

          MLS Commissioner Don Garber said that the Burn, one of
     two franchises remaining under league ownership and control,
     "probably will not identify an owner without resolving the
     club's stadium concerns," according to Steve Davis of the
     DALLAS MORNING NEWS.  MLS officials and Burn execs have
     "always said" that the Cotton Bowl is "not a long-term
     solution" to the team's stadium needs.  Garber, on the
     Burn's stadium situation: "The reality is that the stadium
     issue will be tied in with new ownership discussion.  That
     does make [the process] more cumbersome. ... We could easily
     sell that team for significantly less than we would like to,
     and do that tomorrow."  He noted that "the most substantive
     ownership talks" about the Burn were with "an undisclosed
     investment banking firm" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 3/29).
