Item 5.  Other Events

     In February 2000, the Arena Football League ("AFL") and all of its member
teams, including the Company, were joined as defendants in a civil action
brought by several AFL players (the case is captioned James Guidry, et. al. vs.
Arena Football League L.L.C. et. al., United States District Court, District of
New Jersey, Case Number 00-533-HAA) in which plaintiffs seek damages for
violation of federal antitrust law, specifically Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Antitrust Act. The complaint seeks damages against the defendants in an amount
to be determined and trebled, plaintiffs' cost of litigation and further relief,
as the court deems proper and equitable. Should the plaintiffs prevail, the
Company's operating expenses, results of operations and financial condition
would be materially and adversely affected.
