A tribe hoping to host a new $350 million Arizona Cardinals football stadium would be required to a limited waiver of sovereign immunity to allow taxation and certain lawsuits.

The provision is contained in a bill under consideration by the Legislature in an attempt to put stadium talks back on track. The Gila River Tribe dropped its proposal after a legal opinion raised questions about hosting the facility on a reservation.

The city of Mesa and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation are still up for consideration.
