The resolution to expand was expected to be quickly adopted by the owners at their spring meetings here today.

The choice was made on the sixth ballot at the owners' annual spring meeting.

Beginning in 1953, the spring meeting was moved to East Petersburg.

Goodell said at the league's spring meetings last month that a committee had been formed to look into the matter.

They hope to have the proposal defeated at the spring meeting of the institute's governing council.

The vote to select the site will be held at the league's spring meetings in May.

The owners here at their spring meeting maintained an expansion schedule that will increase the league's number of teams from 28 to 30.

It meets four times a year with the spring meeting being the annual meeting.

Raced in early October, prior to 1989 it was run during the track's spring meeting.

He returned to the same course two weeks later for the second spring meeting and won twice.
