Harry Hughes, and key lead ers in the Legislature. “I owe it to the people of Balti more to give these people a chance to work things out,” Irsay told the owners at a regularly scheduled NFL meeting. Irsay’s decision thus ensured that the Colts would play in Baltimore through at least 1980. Irsay had discussed a possible move with officials in Memphis and Jacksonville and has steadfastly in sisted he could muster the 21 votes of NFL owners necessary to transfer the transfer if he chose to do so. “I told the owners that if things did not work out in the next legisla ture (which convenes in January) I would be back to see them,” Irsay said. The NFL’s next regular meet ing will come in March. “I’m going to visit with the repre sentatives of Memphis and Jackson- viille to let them know how pleased I have been to deal with them and I was not using them in an attempt to get something out of the Maryland people,” Irsay said. “I told the owners what the bot tom line of the proposals had been and that Jacksonville and Memphis should be strongly considered for expansion franchises when the time came. I don’t think the effort of those cities has been wasted.” Irsay said the stadium renovation proposals would provide new dress ing rooms, improved parking, bet ter concessions facilities and would eliminate seats with obstructed views. “I’ve had fans write me and tell me they can’t go to the rest room and they can’t find anywhere to park,” the Colts’ owner said. “I’m not getting a thing from any of this. I just want a better facility for the fans. ” When asked whether the renova tion would bring about additional seats and, thus, additional revenue, Irsay said. “For every seat we put in, we will take a bad one out. I have never asked for anything more than some thing in the neighborhood of 60,000 good seats. ” NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle said he had visited with Baltimore and Maryland officials and felt the stadium improvement package would have proper support. “I have found that when some thing is supported by the mayor and the governor and leaders of key legislative committees, it usually sails,” Rozelle said. Rozelle said Irsay’s comments, concerning Memphis and Jackson ville, to the owners could have helped those cities in the possible expansion discussion. “I’ve felt before that those two cities were excellent candidates,” Rozelle said, “and I feel so more today off of the high interest they have shown in acquiring the Colts. ” Rozelle, however, declined to discuss any possible timetable for expansion from 28 to 30 NFL teams. NFL college draft date set United Press International DALLAS — National Football League owners Wednesday ap proved April 29 and 30 as the dates for the 1980 college draft.
