SCHOTT SAYS REDS WOULD CONSIDER RENOVATING CINERGY FIELD

          Reds CEO Marge Schott said Sunday that the team "would
     consider playing in a renovated Cinergy Field instead of a
     new ballpark," according to Geoff Hobson of the CINCINNATI
     ENQUIRER.  Schott: "I think we should take a look at
     (renovation) to see if it can work."  Schott said that she
     doesn't think the site the Reds had been looking at for a
     new ballpark, known as the Wedge, "can work, because a large
     part of the old stadium would be under construction"
     (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 11/10).  More Schott: "We'd prefer a
     new stadium, but the county gave the Bengals so much money
     on their stadium that I don't know [sic] there's enough left
     for us.  Plus, if we do it this way, it would help out the
     taxpayers" (Barry Horstman, CINCINNATI POST, 11/10).  On
     Monday, Hamilton County officials "avoided direct response"
     to Schott's comments, "but those monitoring the discussions
     say her statement could signal a dramatic turn in the
     stadium debate" (May & Hobson, CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 11/11).
