Community

We love celebrating our community here in the Twin Cities, and we’re happy to support the LGBTQ+ community during this Pride Month and every month.

Join us in recognition and celebration of the LGBTQ+ community with a host of activations and events throughout the month of June. MNUFC will be at the Twin Cities Pride Festival for the weekend of June 27-29 and will also march in the parade on June 29. Don’t forget to swing by to grab your #OneMN button — collect them from every Minnesota sports team!

Don’t miss Pride Night on June 14 at the MNUFC vs. San Diego game, presented by Bell Bank. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m., and the game will feature a new installation in the 2025 Artist Collection.

Dark Clouds Prideraiser

Join the Dark Clouds MN Supporters Group in supporting OutFront Minnesota this month by making a pledge on their Prideraiser page.

Supporting local businesses and people from all walks of life is integral to Minnesota United's mission to unite our community. We encourage fans to join us in highlighting and supporting LGBTQ+-owned or supported businesses in the Twin Cities area, from restaurants to bookstores to music venues. It's simple: show up, show support. Just like you do for us every matchday.

As part of our growing collection by local artists, we’re excited to introduce designs by Simone Alexa! Simone’s work draws from her multicultural upbringing and challenges harmful portrayals, inspiring action against injustice. She weaves themes of identity, the body, religion, fantasy, and Afrofuturism into her drawing, painting, digital illustration, and soft sculpture. Her limited-edition work will launch in conjunction with the June 14 Pride Game, available at the Black and Blue Team Store. Check back soon to see the collection!

When you grab your swag from the Black and Blue Team Store throughout the month of June, you can round up to the nearest dollar to donate your change to OutFront Minnesota, whose mission is to build power and address inequities within the state’s 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. IKEA will match fan donations!
