137.53 ACTIVITIES; CONTRACTS.
The legislature recognizes that the board has all powers necessary or convenient for
designing, constructing, equipping, improving, controlling, operating, and maintaining the
stadium and may enter into contracts that are, in its judgment, in the best interests of the public
for those purposes. Notwithstanding contrary law, the board may adopt the fair and competitive
design and construction procurement procedures in connection with the stadium that it considers
to be in the public interest. The board must ensure, to the greatest extent practicable, that materials
derived from American-made steel are used in the construction of the stadium. Sections
16B.33
and
16B.335 do not apply to the stadium.
