(AP) The New Jersey Devils and their landlord announced today they had signed an agreement that will keep the Stanley Cup champions in New Jersey for at least one year. NHL commissioner Gary Belt-man said the two aides reached tentative agreement on a deal that would make the Meadowlands Arena the Devils' home ice fbr the next 12 yean.

The two sides will continue to negotiate toward a long-term agreement. If no agreement is reached by Sept 15, the sports authority will revise its motion fbr a temporary restraining order to keep the team in the state, Kobert said. The authority has withdrawn its request for a restraining order fbr now, but Superior Court Judge Peter Ciotino did not dismiss the motion and left open the option that it could be revived.

"Hopefully, it will not be necessary fbr us to be here on that date (Sept. 15) or on any other occasion, Ciolino said. Key terms of the tentative agreement include a commitment from the sports authority to spend $12 million to renovate the Brendan Byrne Arena. Other provisions call fbr the installation of new dub seating, 'renovation of old luxury box suites, construction of suites at the arena and construction of a restaurant. These improvements are to be funded by new revenue generated from them.
