Tax exemptions for Minnesota United’s soccer stadium in St. Paul are again caught up in Capitol complications.

The Republican Legislature and Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton agree that the stadium deserves exemptions for certain property taxes and a sales and use taxes. But, as in previous years, those exemptions are part of a larger tax-related measure in the Legislature — and that measure has not yet become law.

The massive bill including the tax breaks passed the Minnesota House on a 102-31 vote in the wee hours Wednesday and passed the Senate on a 44-20 vote later Wednesday. But, through a quirk of legislative process, it will have to get approved by the House again in the coming days. Then it will await Dayton’s judgment. The larger measure is part of an agreed-upon budget plan, so it will likely win his signature.

The bill included “exemption from certain property taxes for a Major League Soccer stadium” and “exemption from sales and use taxes” for the privately financed $150 million stadium to be built near Snelling Avenue and Interstate 94 in the Midway neighborhood.

The tax exemptions also were included in last year’s tax bill that passed the Legislature, but Dayton did not sign it because of an unrelated wording error.

United spokesman Eric Durkee said the club is observing and waiting to see how the tax bill develops amid Legislative priorities before commenting. United principal owner Bill McGuire could speak to the media during halftime of the Loons’ match against Orlando City on Saturday night at the club’s temporary home, TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

Property tax exemption has been given to all local pro stadiums since the bill with tax breaks for St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center was enacted in 1998.

McGuire told WCCO-AM in late April that the club was hopeful its requests would be fulfilled, and that they were going ahead with some stadium work.

“We are still spending a little bit of time trying to tweak some elements … interior-wise … locations of various concessions and how to respond to what the fans are suggesting that they would like to see,” McGuire told the radio station.

In March, the MLS expansion franchise started a two-year agreement to play home games at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium, with the Midway stadium estimated to open in 2019.

McGuire, MLS Commissioner Don Garber and other Loons leaders participated in a ceremonial groundbreaking at the stadium site in mid-December.

In March, the St. Paul Port Authority agreed to enter a joint-venture with Irgens, a Milwaukee developer, and United to help develop 15 acres that span most of the Midway Shopping Center and cut into a roughly 2-acre northern portion of the stadium’s footprint.
