Local Radio News from the newsroom of campus and community news 8:04 a.m. Monday through Friday during NPR Morning Edition on KAMU-FM 90.9 College Station / Bryan AUSTIN (AP) — University of Texas System regents don’t expect an expansion of Darrell K Royal- Memorial stadium to 115,500 seats to begin anytime soon. UT System planning docu ments, obtained through an open records request by the Austin American-Statesman, estimate that it would cost $89.9 million in 1996 dollars to rebuild the stadi um’s north end zone and add south end zone seating, complete with luxury sky boxes. That would come on top of $91.57 mil lion in athletics pro jects already approved by regents, including $55.35 million for Royal-Memorial Stadium. Athletics and system offi cials had said no cost estimates were available for the additional expansion. They explained Monday that the projects, if done at all, could end up quite differently than what is pro posed in a master plan for the stadium’s future. The Board of Regents has not approved the end zone additions, and most said Monday that they want to see how the current expansion works out first. The stadium, which now seats 75,512 and is the largest in the Big 12 Conference, is currently being expanded to 81,816 seats. “I’m not opposed to (further) expansion at all, and I’m proba bly in favor of it,” said Tony Sanchez of Laredo. “But I’d like to slow down a bit ... until we have solid information” on what is needed. The planning docu ments envision the end zone projects starting as soon as UT completes the already-approved projects, estimated at August 1999. The approved projects, to be financed by donations and bonds paid back with ticket sales and sky box revenues, have drawn criticism from faculty who think athletics are over shadowing academics. 3-bedroom apartment, bus route, $360/mo. Call Rockies acquire Castillo DENVER (AP) — Frank Castillo welcomed Tuesday’s trade that brought him to the Colorado Rockies. “I’ve heard the the trade rumors about me for the last month, and I am glad it’s finally over,” said Castillo, dealt by the Chicago Cubs for minor-leaguer Matt Pool. Castillo, 28, was 6-9 with a 5.42 ERA in 19 starts for the Cubs this year. “We have gone through some rough times here with seemingly anything that could have gone wrong went wrong,” he said. ‘Tm ready to put all that behind me and move on. “1 see no difference in pitching in Denver than pitching in Wrigley Field with the wind blowing out,” said Castillo, scheduled to make his Rockies debut Saturday at Wrigley Field. “You have to keep the ball down and get a lot of ground balls there just like in Wrigley Field.” Mitchell Continued from Page 3 With the spector of the 1994 strike still fresh in the minds of many fans, major league base ball finds itself still trying to regain a tenuous footing in America’s sports consciousness. Make no mistake, the move to interleague play was a des perate effort to slow the once powerful game’s backslide in market share. Rapidly tiring of a main stream sports environment that continues to lose credibility and perspective, fans have turned away from the increasingly juve nile antics of those associated with today’s professional sports in favor of up and comers like professional soccer and women’s basketball. Already rife with petulant players and greedy owner’s sul lying the game on a seemingly weekly basis, baseball’s woes continue with threats of moving trucks unless flashy new venues are erected. If not, fans are faced with seeing traditional teams and conferences thrown to the wolves so that baseball can sport a flashy new look. With the situation critical, something had to be done, and fast. Luckily for the fat cat owners, it seems to be working, at least for the moment. The Astros-Twins matchup drew nearly 30,000 fans per game in indifferent Houston, prompting calls to check the temperature of Hell. The Braves-Orioles contest drew some of the highest weekly rat ings of the decade, and good old provincialism reared it’s head in bipartisan Chicago. All told, interleague play has almost been a complete succes for major league baseball, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, unless you happen to be of the notion that baseball deserves every bit as much trou ble as it’s getting. So for now, those of us who abhor watching American League pitchers flail wildly at pitches in the dirt and National League managers scan the bench in vain for an effective designated hitter, will have to get used to the idea of inter- league play, at least until the powers that be decide profits aren’t as important as respect for the history of the game. L for one, hope that day arrives soon. I just can’t stand watching Ted Turner drool over his stock options. Alignment Continued from Page 3 Q: What about the league’s stance on further expansion? There are rumors two new teams will be added by 2000. Mr. Schieffer: I think expan sion will occur, I just don’t know when it will occur. But I doubt if it happens as soon as 2000. It’s more like five to 10 years away. The last expansion has been so costly in terms of how much money the new teams have gone out and spent on draftees and other players. People recognize that when you add two more teams bidding on the same num ber of players you’re likely to have an increase in player cost. I think that outweighs against expansion. What weighs in favor of expansion is that the math is easier to work with two more teams because you can then have eight divisions of four teams. Then you have a winner in each division. That is ultimately the most desirable thing to do. Q: What’s your opinion on expanding to 32 teams, creating eight division winners and, in turn, eliminating the Wild Card? Mr. Schieffer: I think that would be the natural progression. That way everyone in the playoffs has won something. We would prefer that. I’m not a fan of the Wild Card, per say. I think it ads some interest to the season when you are out of your divisional race. But I think part of the allure of baseball is that you have to play a 162-game schedule before you get into the post-season. Part of that long season should be winning something. Whereas if you finish second and go on, I don’t think it has the same luster.
