Saddle up, you Loons, because the Black and Blue are on an absolute scoring spree. Five goals in San Jose, three against Orlando, and four in Portland means that 35% of Minnesota’s goals this year have come in their last three matches. Though Portland defeated Minnesota by a one-goal margin and sent the Loons home without points, Minnesota’s attack has never looked better. Now they take on FC Dallas, a daunting opponent sitting at fourth in the Western Conference, in hopes of jumping over the play-in line.
Here’s everything you need to know before the Loons host FC Dallas for a Wednesday showdown.

Collection bins for pop tabs from your canned beverages are available throughout the stadium on the side of trash bins (and outside, if you’d like to bring tabs from home). Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community, as we raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Upper Midwest.

Help Allianz Field limit the amount of waste produced on gamedays by sorting your waste into the BizRecycling and WM organics, recycling, or trash receptacles.
Ecolab Water Stations
As part of a stadium-wide water sustainability effort in partnership with Ecolab, MNUFC has six water bottle refill stations around the concourse sections 9, 15, 21, 25, 30, and 36. Bring in empty, clear plastic bottles to use at the water stations. They're not sensor activated, so make sure to press the button to save the planet and your dignity.
