     After seven spectators were injured by two falling panels,
Toronto officials have "required" repairs be made before SkyDome
can reopen, according to the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL.  SkyDome VP
David Garrick after the incident: "There is an engineering crew
there right now going over every panel and tomorrow morning the
people who did the installation will be brought in to check
everything again."  Garrick said the facility will be open for an
Argonauts game tonight, "We've had 35 million people through here
in the past 6 1/2 years and nothing like this has happened
before" (Michael Grange, Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 6/23).
