The connection is the Minneapolis public contribution to the stadium is 400 million, paid for (supposedly) by a tax on smokers and pull tab gamblers. So we have them to thank.
Only problem so far is the gambling receipts are less than 10% of the amount forecasted when the stadium was being proposed and built. Who gets to guarantee it if there is no money - the citizens.
If you had a business, wouldn't you like to have the public fund some of your facilities ? The NFL and the NCAA have the cities, colleges, and athletes all over a barrel.
