• No glass
• No charcoal
• No feeding any wildlife
• Trash and recycling must be properly disposed of
• Alcohol must remain in Lots F and G

Fans should plan to enter the NSC Stadium via the North Gate. There will only be one entry gate available on game day, opening 1 hour prior to kickoff.

• All bags that measure 12” x 6” x 12” or smaller will be permitted.

During the Match

Cancellation Policy

Should a match be cancelled due to weather of another event, you will be able to exchange your ticket for a comparable ticket for a future MNUFC2 game. No refunds will be issued.

Food and Beverage

Concessions will be available for purchase at every MNUFC2 home match. Outside food and beverage will not be permitted.

Post-Match Activations

Autograph Alley

New this year, MNUFC2 players will be signing autographs on their way back to the locker room after the match. Fans that want to score some signatures should meet behind sections 3 and 4 of the seating bowl, where they will be guided down to the autograph area by event staff. Fans of all ages are invited to participate.

Postgame PKs

Once the players have cleared the field after Autograph Alley, fans between the ages of 3 and 15 will have the chance to take a PK on the very same turf that the team plays on. After signing a waiver, participants gathered behind sections 3 and 4 of the seating bowl will be guided down to the field by event staff.
