CHANGE FROM SHAWMUT CENTER TO FLEET (????) COULD BE PRICY

     According to the BOSTON HERALD's "Inside Track" column, the
total cost of changing all the "new arena adornments" bearing
Shawmut Bank's indian-head logo at the new Boston Garden could
top $500,000.  The naming rights to the new Garden are included
in Fleet Financial Group's $3.7B acquisition of Shawmut Bank.
Among the changes that have to be made -- signs, uniforms, cups,
napkins and seat tags.  Reportedly, there were 15,000 indian-head
logos waiting to be affixed to arena seats.  "That's $18,000
right there." The HERALD's Fee & Raposa note it was a "good
thing" the $4M scoreboard wasn't under construction (BOSTON
HERALD, 2/23).
