| SECTION 1. Section 351.1078, Tax Code, is amended by adding | ||

| applies shall compare the area hotel revenue that is attributable | ||

| field described by Section 351.101(i) to the projected annual | ||
| amount of that revenue anticipated by the municipality to be | ||
| generated as a result of the construction or expansion of the | ||
| facility or field. If area hotel revenue attributable to sporting | ||
| events held at the facility or field is less than the projected | ||
