ATLANTA ARENA BEHIND SCHEDULE, BUT EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE

          Atlanta's new downtown arena is "two months behind
     schedule," but "still is planned" to be completed by
     September '99, according to Melissa Turner of the ATLANTA
     CONSTITUTION.  Construction crews are currently working
     double shifts to reach the completion date.  Meanwhile,
     Braves/Hawks President Stan Kasten is still "seeking"
     corporate sponsors for the arena's naming rights and for
     venues like the "Thrashers Nest," an area that overlooks the
     concourse connecting the arena to the CNN Center.  Kasten:
     "If you're asking is everything for sale, yes."  Buyers have
     "committed" to 80 of the 90 luxury suites at between
     $135,000 and $225,000 (ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 11/10).
