FACILITY NOTES

          In Milwaukee, Kenneth Lamke reports that a new, $5M
     "partial settlement" of the Miller Park crane accident
     lawsuit filed by the three widows of the ironworkers killed
     on the site was approved Monday, bringing the total
     settlement to $7M.  The "main target" of the suit,
     Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of America, is "not involved in
     either settlement, so the final damages amount appears
     likely to go much higher" (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 6/13).
          NOTES: K.C. police said yesterday that the three
     gunshots at Kauffman Stadium on Friday night "probably were
     fired from outside the stadium" (K.C. STAR, 6/13)....In
     Minneapolis, Bob von Sternberg writes on media companies'
     influence on sports teams and new facilities: "Increasingly,
     newspapers and other media companies nationwide have become
     tightly aligned with pro sports franchises and stadium
     campaigns -- sometimes to the point of owning all or part of
     a team.  Some of the involvement is prompted by media
     executives' attitudes about their role in the community. 
     Some is a reaction to the vast changes that are roiling all
     media companies" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 6/13)....In
     Nashville, Lakisha Langster reported that the Titans are
     paying $70,000-100,000 to resod the entire field at Adelphia
     Coliseum this week (Nashville TENNESSEAN, 6/10).
