MD STADIUM AUTHORITY REACHES PARKING AND CELL PHONE DEALS

          The MD Stadium Authority (MSA) "has struck an agreement
     to rent space" under an Interstate overpass near Camden
     Yards for parking during Orioles and Ravens games, according
     to the Baltimore SUN.  A three-year contract has the MSA
     paying $22,902.75 to the MD Transportation Authority for the
     land "which will accommodate 377 parking spaces."   The
     payments represent "about half" of the revenue the MSA will
     receive from the cars parking on site (Baltimore SUN, 7/25).
          PHONE TAG: Nextel Communications has gained approval
     from the MSA to put up a transmitter and cluster of
     antennas, known as a "cell site," on the roof of the
     adjacent warehouse to Camden Yards.  Nextel becomes the
     fourth wireless communication company to add a cell site to
     the roof, "providing about $70,000 a year in unexpected
     rental income" to the MSA (Jon Morgan, Baltimore SUN, 7/28).
