...and "Auxiliary Services" Exclamation

Quote:

The WNBA is negotiating with a private ownership group to bring a team into the Chicago market in time for the 2006 season, a source close to the negotiations told the Tribune.

"There's nothing finalized yet, but it's looking awfully good," the source said. "They're pretty far along with the group and it looks like it's going to get done."

The league has been investigating possible venues in the area, looking at the UIC Pavilion before Christmas, then calling again recently to explore open dates.

"We don't have any contract, so we're kind of waiting too," said Mike DeLorenzo, executive associate director of auxiliary services at UIC. "My guess is once they identify [an ownership group], then it would probably be us or the United Center."
