This bill establishes the Minnesota Stadium Authority to oversee the construction and operation of a new National Football League (NFL) stadium in Minnesota, replacing the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission. It outlines the authority's powers, including acquiring property, entering into agreements, and managing the stadium. The bill also details funding mechanisms, including the issuance of state appropriation bonds up to $650 million, and allows for local tax revenue use. Additionally, it introduces provisions for electronic pull-tab, electronic linked bingo, and sports-themed tipboard games, modifying tax rates on lawful gambling and appropriating funds for these purposes. The legislation also includes exemptions for certain building materials used in the stadium's construction and specifies rules for liquor licenses at the stadium.
