Arizona Governor Jane Hull said she would sign a bill ensuring tribes can host a $350 million Arizona Cardinals football stadium.

The Legislature will be taking up a bill to clear obstacles for the Gila River Tribe, which withdrew its stadium bid last week after a legal opinion raised questions about the ability to host the site. A backup application by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation would be affected by the bill as well.

Hull is also pushing for approval of new gaming compacts she signed with tribes. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) lent his voice of support and urged quick approval.

The stadium bill, the compacts and other gaming-related legislation will be discussed at a special session of the Legislature that will start on Monday.
