GRIZZLIES BANKING ON '94 EXHIBITION TO SELL SEASON TICKETS

     To date, the Grizzlies have only "one up-front, in the
public-eye employee," VP/GM Stu Jackson.  "And it's a safe bet he
isn't going to sell 8,000 season tickets with his "charming smile
and nicely tailored suits."  Jackson is counting, in part, on an
October 25 exhibition between the Lakers and Sonics to help the
team reach the league-mandated minimum of 15,000 season tickets
by December 15.  Jackson said the Grizzlies have had slightly
more than 7,000 season tickets registered to be purchased, plus
1,250 suite seats  (Dan Stinson, VANCOUVER SUN, 9/23).
