Ending Tax Breaks for Professional Sports Stadiums

Key points
Bonds used to finance professional sports stadiums will no longer be tax-exempt.
This change applies to bonds issued after the act becomes law.
It may lead to different financing methods for stadium construction and renovations, without tax-exempt support.
