It's down to the wire for the Gila River Tribe and the city of Mesa for a $350 million Arizona Cardinals football stadium.

The tribe and the city are rushing to answer last-minute questions regarding their proposals to host the stadium. The tribe is confident it can satisfy sovereign immunity doubts while the city is rushing to meet a Wednesday deadline to finalize funding.

The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Tribe agreed to pay $150,000 to help Mesa and to locate a parking lot on tribal land.

The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority will select a finalist on Thursday.
