STADIUM NOTES

          "Dissatisfied" with Mayor Norm Rice's proposal to keep
     the Mariners in town, Seattle City Council members are
     negotiating independently with the team.  The city faces a
     Monday deadline to agree to conditions set by the team
     (SEATTLE TIMES, 1/9).  But a SEATTLE TIMES editorial states
     Rice offered a "sensible compromise" to the M's for paying
     game-day costs. The proposal calls for the M's and the city
     to split game-day police and traffic-control costs for the
     first three years, and "during that time, the city will work
     to reduce the costs and then pick up that tab" (SEATTLE
     TIMES, 1/9)....The MLB Giants named Rod Roche their Project
     Manager for the construction of Pacific Bell Park (Giants).
     ...Denver Mayor Wellington Webb "ruled out" Stapleton
     Airport as a site for a Broncos stadium, saying the city
     will not submit the site as a location (DENVER POST, 1/10).
