what I have been saying to raise money for stadiums is do it a bit creativly. Like have a 'FanZone' where fans can purchase bricks to be built on a wall or a sidewalk. All the money go towards the stadium.
Minnesotans love thier scratch off lottery tickets, so make a special lottery ticket so that the proceeds go towards a Stadium fund instead of the Minensota General Fund like it does.
That way people who want a stadium will pay for it, and those that dont want to be taxed dont have to pay for it.
Oooh oooh!
How about a scratch-off where you can get cash OR tickets to Twins/Vikings games maybe with the grand prize being season tickets in a skybox.
