SB 1120 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Contracts - As introduced, requires that contracts entered into between a personal seat license (PSL) holder of 10 or more years and a professional sports franchise for the purchase of a subsequent PSL with an upgraded or improved seating classification include a provision that enables the PSL holder to purchase the subsequent PSL for the same price as the previous PSL; applies to all contracts for subsequent PSL purchases entered into for seating at stadiums in certain counties on or after the effective date of the act. - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 9; Title 16; Title 47 and Title 67.

SB 1120 requires professional sports franchises to include a clause in contracts with personal seat license (PSL) holders who have held their license for 10 or more years. This clause ensures those holders can purchase an upgraded or improved seat at the same price they originally paid for their seat. The law applies to contracts for seat upgrades at stadiums in counties with over 500,000 residents (per 2020 census) and 65,000+ seating capacity. It affects new contracts entered into after the bill's effective date, preventing price increases for long-term fans upgrading seats.
