Spectacorannouncedthatfinancing for Spectrum II has finally been arranged with PNC Bank. The 21,000-seat future home of the Philadelphia Flyers and 76ers is scheduled to open in the spring of 1996, assuming no further hitches delay the planned January ground breaking.

Financing forthe stadium has been very difficult to arrange and could still founder. Harold Katz, owner of the 76ers, must agree to new conditions imposed by PNC, and PNC must find other banks that are willing to carry part of the $134 million financing package.

Sydney, Australia beat out Beijing, China, among other cities, to host the summer Olympics in 2000. The competition to serve as host was fierce. Australia spent approximate!y $17 million on their bid, and there may be political repercussions over China's loss.

The games have been held in the southern hemisphere only once before, in Melbourne in 1956. To win the bid, Sydney promised to pay the estimated $23 million transportation cost of transporting athletes, equipment and officials, to and from the Games. They also volunteered to provide free lodging in Australian homes for two relatives for each athlete.
