EAGLES EYEING MLS TEAM TO HELP WITH STADIUM BID

     The Eagles are talking with MLS about bringing a pro soccer
team to Philadelphia, according to this morning's PHILADELPHIA
INQUIRER.  The bid is "part of the team's effort to bolster its
case for spending public funds on a stadium for a football team
that plays only ten home dates a season."  Eagles Owner Jeffrey
Lurie could be a full or part-owner.  MLS has indicated its plans
are to expand in three to five years.  A source with the state
committee studying stadium needs said an Eagles-MLS alliance with
"could be meaningful down the line" if the state is forced to
choose between a new facility for the Eagles or Phillies
(Sokolove & Jensen, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 5/30).
