FACILITY NOTES

          In Baltimore, Jay Apperson reports that the Orioles
     will invoke the "parity provision" in their lease with the
     MD Stadium Authority during a hearing today asking for the
     state to pay "millions of dollars in rent discounts and
     improvements to Camden Yards."  The Orioles are asking for
     the same inducements the Ravens received upon relocating to
     Baltimore.  Apperson: "[The] hearing is bound to provide a
     glimpse into the complex legal and financial arrangements
     between Baltimore's two major-league sports franchises and
     their quasi-public landlord" (Baltimore SUN, 11/29).
          NOTES: CA-based Barrett Sports Group has been retained
     by the WA State NFL Public Stadium Authority (PSA) to
     consult on the Seahawks stadium and Exhibition Center under
     construction.  Barrett will assist the PSA in evaluating
     naming rights proposals and PSL programs for the Seahawks
     (Barrett Sports Group)....In Indianapolis, Stephen Beaven
     reports that yesterday's Touchdowns and Technology luncheon,
     sponsored by the Colts and the IN Technology Partnership,

     the NFL."  Team Owner Jim Irsay "has made clear that he
     hopes to move his team into a new stadium in five or six
     years," and Tuesday's luncheon "could serve as a first step
     in attracting new sponsors for a new facility" (INDIANAPOLIS
     STAR, 11/29)....U.K.-based brand consultancy Identica has
     been retained to "revamp Wembley stadium's image before the
