Oilers free to move to Nashville after buyoi
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The
Tennessee Oilers are free to negotiate
a deal to play next season in Nashville
under an agreement approved Tlies-
day by Memphis officials.
The Memphis and Shelby Coun
ty Sports Authority and the Mem
phis Parks Commission signed a
deal calling for the Oilers to pay
them $1.2 million to get out of a
two-year contract to play in the Lib
erty Bowl. The city also will not re
fund the $118,904 the team spent
improving the stadium last year.
Under the agreement negotiated
by the authority and the Oilers, the
team has until April 30 to find an
other temporary stadium for this
fall. If they do not, they may play a
second season in Memphis.
“We’re disappointed to see the
Oilers go, but that’s the way it is,”
said Wayne Boyer, executive direc
tor of the parks commission.
The Oilers, who averaged an
NFL-low 28,028 fans at the Liberty
Bowl last year after leaving Hous
ton, had no immediate comment.
The team’s likely option
for the 1998 season is
Vanderbilt in
Nashville and its
41,448-seat stadi
um a few miles
away from the
67,000-seat stadi
um being built for
the 1999 season.
Negotiations with
Vanderbilt could begin
as early as next week, and Mayor Phil
Bredesen said he is ready to help.
"The mayor has put a call into
Mr. Adams this afternoon to see
when we need to take the next step
and get the ball rolling in
Nashville,” spokesperson Shan
non Hunt said, referring to Oilers
owner Bud Adams.
The Oilers already know about
Vanderbilt, having played two pre
season games there last summer.
They paid 10 percent of gate re
ceipts as rent, while the
school received all con
cession, parking and
suite revenues.
Vanderbilt athletic
director Todd
Turner has said
that deal would
be a basis for
any regular-sea
son deal.
For months, the Oilers publicly
denied they had any plans to try to
leave Memphis early. Even last
week, when the authority voted to
begin negotiating a buyout, the
team declined to comment and
said it was concentrating its mar-

with a big, loud pop Tuesday.
In the middle of a rundown
drill, the second baseman fell to
the ground, his left knee appar

“I heard something pop,” said
Darren Bragg, the runner on the
play of the accident.
“It definitely didn’t sound good.
It definitely didn’t look good.”
Frye, coming off his best season
and signed to a $7 million, three-
year contract, was driven off the
field on a golf cart.
About a half hour later, he left
the clubhouse on crutches and was
driven away to undergo X-rays and
an MRI.
“I saw him go down and gri

manager Jimy Williams said. “I
knew it wasn’t good.”
