BOSTON STUDY SHOWS RENOVATED FENWAY TO COST UPWARDS OF $500M

          A study prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers conducted
     for the city of Boston "at no cost" concludes that the plan
     to renovate Fenway Park would cost "almost as much as the
     team's proposal to build" a new $545M ballpark, according to
     Meg Vaillancourt in a front-page report in today's BOSTON
     GLOBE.  The study concludes that the design and construction
     involved in the Save Fenway Park plan would "exceed" $500M. 
     While Red Sox officials said that they agreed with the
     "general conclusions," Save Fenway's backers "defended the
     renovation proposal ... noting that the cost of the project
     might be reduced" (BOSTON GLOBE, 9/28).
