FACILITY NOTES

          CBS SportsLine's Len Pasquarelli reported that with the
     Saints winning, "look for [Owner] Tom Benson to begin
     banging the drums even louder ... in his quest for a new
     stadium."  It is "doubtful" that the team would move, but
     Benson recently met with NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue
     about the "lack" of revenues in New Orleans (CBS Sportsline,
     11/4)....In St. Paul, Charley Walters reported that Vikings
     Owner Red McCombs is willing to "become a partner" with the
     Univ. of MN on a new stadium (PIONEER PRESS, 11/5)....The
     Hornets "ended the relationship" with former Charlotte City
     Council member and consultant Malachi Greene, as he "had
     done all he could for the team" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 11/5).
