FACILITY NOTES

          The Cleveland City Council has come "close to reaching"
     its hiring goals of minorities and women for construction of
     the new Browns stadium, but the number of city residents
     hired for the project "is significantly below" what the
     council sought.  The council's stadium consultants said that
     25.1% of construction workers at Browns Stadium have been
     city residents, compared to a goal of 40%.  Minorities have
     accounted for 23.5%, compared to a goal of 25%, while 6.4%
     of the workers have been women, compared to a goal of 7.5%
     (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 5/23)....Financing for the Broncos
     new stadium is "nearly nailed down," as Norwest Bank
     Colorado has been named bond trustee for the $260M in bonds
     which will be issued in late June or early July to pay for
     the new facility (DENVER POST, 5/21)....T'Wolves Owner Glen
     Taylor and Target Center exec Dana Warg "might be close to
     making a deal to buy out the Ogden Company" for ownership of
     Target Center (Sid Hartman, Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 5/22).
