FACILITY NOTES

          In N.Y., architectural writer Herbert Muschamp reviewed
     Rafael Vinoly's new Princeton Univ. football stadium design,
     which "would make a great location for a fashion shoot." 
     Muschamp wrote that the stadium "contrasts sharply with the
     ponderousness of recent stadium design" (N.Y. TIMES, 6/21).
     ...Oakland Coliseum Joint Venture, a new management company
     consisting of PA-based SMG and CA-based Williams Pacific
     Ventures, will take over operations at Oakland Coliseum and
     Oakland Arena on July 1.  Glenn Mon, SMG Senior VP/Stadiums
     & Arenas, will head the transition team (OAKLAND TRIBUNE,
     6/19)....In S.F. on Friday, Superior Court Judge Raymond
     Williamson declared that the initiative petition put
     together by opponents of the 49ers stadium-mall complex
     contained "flat-out untruths," and barred S.F.'s acting
     Elections Chief Naomi Nishioka from certifying the measure
     for the November ballot (S.F. EXAMINER, 6/21).
