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.

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.”

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.
