49ERS AIM TO SHOW DETAILS OF DEAL TO SWAY SKEPTICAL VOTERS

          In an effort to "win over fence-sitting voters," S.F.
     Mayor Willie Brown and the 49ers "are expected to come out
     this week with a new agreement that will try to nail down
     key terms of the $535 million stadium-shopping mall deal,"
     according to Matier & Ross in a front-page piece in today's
     S.F. CHRONICLE.  The agreement will "firm up" the team's
     financial responsibilities before the package goes to voters
     June 3.  The idea is "to defang critics who say the stadium
     deal has too many open-ended questions about the costs to
     the city."  Sources close to the talks say the agreement
     will include the following: Cement the $100M cap on the
     city's investment; require the team to put up $4 in advance
     for every $1 the city puts into the deal; clarify all cost
     overruns to be paid by the team; clarify that the team would
     cover all infrastructure costs and all expenses for
     improving roadways; and require that the city pay for half
     of most stadium maintenance costs (S.F. CHRONICLE, 4/28).
