BENGALS SUITE SALES ON SCHEDULE TO HIT TARGET

          Commitments for private suites at the new Bengals
     stadium have hit 60, putting the program 75% towards its
     April 30 sales target.  The agreement between the Bengals
     and Hamilton County specifies that 80 private suites must be
     leased by April 30 (Bengals).  The 12-seat suites, available
     in six, eight and ten-year leases with annual price
     increases of 3-5%, range from $45-$134,000. The price will
     cover the cost of tickets and parking, but not food
     (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 1/12).  Columnist Tim Sullivan, noting
     the suite sales: "The last loophole that would allow
     [Bengals Owner] Mike Brown to take his team to Cleveland is
     slowly being shut" (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 1/12).
