WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE: BENGALS AGREE TO NEW STADIUM SITE

          The Bengals have agreed to a location for their new
     stadium between Elm St. and Central Ave., immediately north
     of Mehring Way.  The facility will include a new Bengals
     front office and a new practice facility.  The stadium is to
     open with the 2000 NFL season (Bengals).  Hamilton County
     will now try to "relocate eight companies on the site,"
     according to Anne Michaud of the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.  Land
     acquisition may take six to nine months, and county
     officials "expect construction to begin" in early '98.  The
     county and the Bengals are working toward a June 30 deadline
     to sign a lease (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 2/14).
