Game Central

Mental Health Awareness Night, Presented by NutriSource

Your Loons are back at Allianz Field for another home match on Wednesday, this time hosting the Colorado Rapids in what promises to be an action-packed head-to-head. The Rapids are struggling to find regular-season wins, while your Loons are looking to extend their unbeaten streak to three amid a busy stretch of games. On the Loons’ side, global superstar James Rodríguez is set to play his last game before departing for Colombia’s training camp. For the Rapids, Paxten Aaronson leads a dynamic midfield known for passing accuracy and high possession. It’s a Western Conference clash you won’t want to miss.

Wednesday is also Mental Health Awareness Night, and from the first installation of our 2026 Artist Collection to an in-stadium sign activation, we’ve got all kinds of special gameday features teed up to promote a healthy mind. 

Before You Leave

• Plan your route to the stadium by reading up on our parking and transit options. Be aware of active construction on Highway 280. 

• Get your parking pass in advance via SeatGeek.com to guarantee your spot and save time at the lots.

• It's construction season! Expect heavier traffic on southbound Hwy 280 this weekend, and note that Westbound I-94 will be closed between Marion St. and I-35E. Whichever direction you're coming from, you may want to leave a little earlier than usual to give yourself plenty of time to get there.

• Check out our clear bag policy so you don’t have to stash your bag in a bush!

• Bring your card. Allianz Field is a cashless facility.

• Download the MNUFC app for ticket access, stadium maps, Supporters Chants, and a whole lot more.

Gear of the Game | Artist Collection
