The Arizona Legislature will meet today to consider ways to allow tribes to host a new $350 Arizona Cardinals football stadium.

An amendment to an existing law will be considered to remove potential obstacles raised in a recent legal opinion. The opinion caused the Gila River Tribe to drop out of the running for the stadium and sidelined the chances of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation.

But state Attorney General Janet Napolitano says the opinion is totally wrong and that nothing prevents either tribe's bid from going through.
