DUBLIN TO LAMAR HUNT: C'MON OUT, AND BRING THE WHOLE CREW

          The MLS Crew is planning to build a 30,000-seat stadium
     just west of Dublin, OH, if the City Council "agrees to buy
     the land and extend roads and utilities to the site,"
     according to Ortega & Crumbley of the COLUMBUS DISPATCH. 
     Crew Owner Lamar Hunt "has signed" a letter of intent to
     commit to the proposal for the $30M stadium he would "want
     to open" for the '99 season.  Under the deal, Dublin would
     acquire the land and lease it to Hunt Sports Group, which
     would then "assume responsibility for design, construction
     and management of the stadium and would guarantee the
     payment of debt service."  Dublin "would provide"
     construction and financing of roads and extend water/sewer
     utilities.  The lease "would be for 25 years," with an
     option for another 25 (COLUMBUS DISPATCH, 9/24).
