IN THE CARDS? WHERE WOULD NEW STADIUM BE PLACED?

            AZ Gov. Jane Hull's task force seeking a new $329M
     stadium for the NFL Cardinals now wants lawmakers "to
     create" a new stadium and tourism authority that will choose
     the location of the facility and "oversee the millions" of
     dollars raised to finance the deal, according to Pat
     Flannery of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  Hull aide Ted Ferris said
     that the new agency "would also oversee the spending of
     tourism promotion funds included in the stadium financing
     package."  Of the $75M "expected from the Cardinals to fund
     the stadium, "roughly" 34% "would be put up by" the NFL. 
     Cardinals VP Michael Bidwill said that the team was
     "uncertain" how it would raise the rest of its share, but
     did say, "We will be there" (AZ REPUBLIC, 1/22).  The task
     force "will present its plan" to Hull and the AZ Legislature
     on January 31.  An additional issue facing the stadium
     proposal in the Legislature is "reluctance by many lawmakers
     to commit to future spending" (AP, 1/22).
