State fund to help pay for Super Bowl expenses

AUSTIN — A state trust fund that uses tax money to help communities play host to major sports events is distributing its largest grant yet for Super Bowl XLV: $31.2 million. It far surpasses the $8.7 million an earlier version of the Major Events Trust Fund shelled out for the Super Bowl in Houston in 2004. Texas legislators revamped the fund two years ago, making it more favorable for host communities.
