FRANCHISE NOTES

          NFL: Frederick Bouchat has filed a $10M lawsuit in U.S.
     Federal Court charging that the Ravens "stole the team logo
     from him."  While the Ravens and NFLP sought to have the
     suit "dismissed for lack of evidence," Federal Judge Marvin
     Garbis on Friday "found there was enough evident on both
     sides to warrant a trial."  The trial will begin October 5
     (Mult., 7/13)....In MN, Sid Hartman reported that the
     Vikings have sold 41,000 season tickets for this season,
     1,000 more than last year (STAR TRIBUNE, 7/11).  Hartman
     also reported that each of the Vikings 10 stockholders will
     receive more than $20M for selling their interest in the
     club.  The 10 owners paid between $2.8M and $7.5M for their
     initial stake in the team (STAR TRIBUNE, 7/12).
