BENGALS SEAT LICENSE SALES CRAWLING TO GOAL?

          Three weeks into its sales campaign, Hamilton County,
     OH, has sold 5,200 Charter Ownership Agreements (COAs, the
     Bengals' term for seat licenses) for the new Bengals
     stadium, according to Anne Michaud in the CINCINNATI
     ENQUIRER.  The $4M revenue total represents one-fifth of the
     $20M goal "that must be met by April 30 to secure the club's
     future in Cincinnati."  Don Schumacher, chief of Tri-State
     Sports, which is selling the COAs: "As far as I know, we're
     off to the right start.  I believe we will raise more than
     the minimum required."  Michaud notes that compared with
     cities trying to attract an NFL team, seat license sales are
     "at a crawl."  St. Louis had 70,000 first day subscribers
     when the city was trying to lure the Rams.  Bengals season-
     ticket holders have until January 31 to get a 10% discount
     on their COAs, priced from $300-$1,500.  Schumacher said the
     high-priced licenses are selling first as "about" 4,000 of
     the licenses were bought by season-ticket holders, with the
     other 1,200 sales going to people who had never purchased
     season tickets.  The Bengals season-ticket base is about
     5,000 (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 1/9).
