Sec. 8 (Definitions) contains a phrase that there are exemptions for "common carriers that make the property available for use by the general public as of right, such as a railroad, or public facility."
What that means, and whether it will include sports facilities will not be determined by anyone on this blog, unless they are a Federal Judge, but it could potentially include sports stadiums, and some believe it will.
However, the bigger problem with the bill is that it is very broad, and that it will do more to hinder economic development than it will to reduce abusive acts of eminent domain which are real and should be addressed. Its a very bad bill and many Dems voted for it only after being assured that it will never pass the Senate.
