LAWMAKERS VOTE TO LIMIT LIQUOR AT REDSKINS STADIUM

          Prince George's County, MD, legislators voted to "deny"
     a seven-day-a-week liquor license that the Redskins want for
     their new stadium in Landover, "where they hope to hold many
     non-football events and perhaps establish restaurants,"
     according to Terry Neal of the WASHINGTON POST.  The county's
     delegation did "narrowly" approve a five-day liquor license,
     "which some saw as a slap at the Redskins."  Legislative
     leaders "denounced" the vote and "said they will urge the
     Prince George's lawmakers to reverse their decision." A five-
     day license "probably" would allow the team to serve alcohol
     at all football games, but would close stadium and restaurant
     bars for two days a week, and "might cause scheduling
     problems for events and concerts."  The Redskins "said their
     stadium would be the only professional sports facility in the
     country without a seven-day license" (WASHINGTON POST, 3/15).
