PHOENIX MAYOR SAYS NO THANKS TO NEW CARDS STADIUM IN CITY

7.21.2000

          Phoenix Mayor Skip Rimsza said yesterday that "he's not
     interested in locating a new stadium" for the NFL Cardinals
     in the city, and hopes the team "will stay near their
     current home at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe," according to
     Nena Baker of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  Rimsza said that he
     will look to gain support for a $500M upgrade of the city's
     downtown convention center instead.  Baker writes that "if
     Phoenix does not bid for the" $1.8B finance plan to fund a
     new stadium for the Cardinals, an East Valley site
     "straddling the Tempe-Mesa city limits" would be the
     "leading contender" for the facility (AZ REPUBLIC, 7/21).
