No seat too hiah in Superdome
NEW ORLEANS CAP) —
Final Four fans in the
Louisiana Superdome's ( heap
seats — the ones that go for a
mere $275 — will be 20 stories
above the notion. Not that they
mind.
The dome, the tournament's
first big-time arena, may not
afford all fans a chance to gel
close to the court, but it still
has plenty to offer. It has more
seats than just about any other
IcM^tion, a selling point even if
some of those seats are rough
ly 2(H) feet high
"We hand«*d out cards to
people after the 1982 gome,"
said Superdome spokesman
Will Peneguy "Out of oil of
them, we got only two com
plaints about the seats, and
they weren't about the sight
lines. In fad. the only real com
plaint now is that they i-an't get
one."
When the NCAA basketball
committee decided to move the
tournament from the intimacy
of on-campus gyms, it did so in
a big way. In 1982, the Pinal
Pour was played under the
2H0-foot-high. 10-rn re roof of
the Superdome, and what was
lost in atmosphere was made
up by the excitement of the
thousands who got to see the
game in person, if not close up
"I saw the indiana-Syracuse
game then*." said Tyrone Mur
ray. 33. "I was way up there by
the roof, but it was great. I'd
pay $130 for a ticket up there
in a New York second if I could
get one."
Unfortunately for Murray.

FISHING
Continued trom Page 10
However, tins day was one of
those "you-should-have-been
hem*-Iasi week" kind of days.
Like all fisherman. Dennis
Arnold, our expatriate American
captain, speculated why the fish
had gone off the bite ai)d told
exc iting tales of last week 's non
stop action.
Hirds are a fisherman's eyes,
and n floc k of c ire ling Booby
birds led us to a giant sea turtle
hohhmg around on the swells
enjoying the sunshine Evident
ly. the birds wore competing for
a resting spot on the turtle's
broad shell
One bird perched smugly on
the turtle as the other birds
swooped and dived in vain
attempts to gain the refuge for
themselves Meanwhile, the tur
tle peered about like an old man
at a rock concert, wondering
what all of the fuss was alnml.
I .ate in the afternoon, a marlin
jumped out of the water about
150 feet behind the boat. Sil
houetted against the bright sun,
the marlin looked like a giant,
neon-painted prehistoric bird.
Adrenalin surged through my
tiody as I imagined the huge fish
swimming up our woke and
crashing one of our baits
Soon afterward, we turned for
home and prepared to make the
run hack to Quepos. We still
hadn't hooked a fish, and time
was miming out
"I'll pull in the linns as slow
ly as 1 can," Dennis said. "We'll
keep trying."
As Dennis reeled in one of the
lines, two wahoo porpoised
through the boat's wake and
slammed the bait. The razor
sharp teeth of one fish cut
through the wire leader, but one
fish was securely hooked.
After the handshakes and the
laughter, we headed back to Que
pos at full speed. Fifteen miles
from the harbor, a pack of dol
phins appeared all around the
boat, effortlessly outpacing us
across the ocean.
It was a perfect day.
