(a) The legislature expressly finds and determines that:
- (1) the presence of a professional sports team in an approved venue project built or renovated under this chapter provides a unique value to the municipality or county that built or renovated the project that cannot be adequately valued in money; and
- (2) the municipality or county that built or renovated the approved venue project would suffer irreparable injury if a professional sports team breaches its obligation to play its home games in the approved venue project as required by an agreement between the sports team and the municipality or county.
- (b) An agreement described by Subsection (a)(2) shall be enforceable by specific performance in the courts of this state. A waiver of this remedy is contrary to public policy and is unenforceable and void.
