The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation of Arizona says any proposal to build a sports stadium in downtown Phoenix is illegal because the site wasn't identified before voters considered the issue last month.

The tribe is bidding on a new stadium for the Arizona Cardinals. A site on their reservation, east of Phoenix, is one of four original locations proposed for the stadium, but one proposal has already been withdrawn.

The tribe sent its challenge to the Tourism and Sports Authority. But they said the addition of the Phoenix site doesn't violate law.
