Lawn Layover: 12:00 p.m. | Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. | Game Central
To put it lightly, we know this interconference match is a pretty big deal. It’s the first time the Loons have hosted the Herons from South Beach, who bring with them the 2024 Supporters' Shield and are among the favorites to win the title again this season. One of the other contenders for that piece of silverware? Your Loons, who are currently ranked second in the West and had an impressive showing with a 3-0 win in Austin last weekend. This is going to be some gosh darn good soccer, and that’s why we’re celebrating accordingly with the biggest pregame party yet, plus the first-ever free watch party on the Great Lawn! No ticket, no problem. Join us at noon for the Sun Country Lawn Layover, then stick around for a watch party on a giant screen outside the stadium’s north end. Read on for everything you need to know.

We’ve got games, giveaways, interactives, and a whole lot more.

Even More Fan Fun

Be sure to swing by Sun Country for an inflatable soccer kick game, play some cornhole with Pella, and get a chance to win vouchers for IKEA. Target will sponsor the Prize Machine at the Bell Bank gate before the match, then move to the Great Lawn when the game begins. Take advantage of fun photo opportunities with NutriSource, CSB/SJU, and Target, and get in on a giveaway by Standard Heating & Air Conditioning — 250 cooling towels! This is only a fraction of the things we've got planned, so keep your eyes open and join in on all the fun.
Security
You don’t need a ticket to come to the free Lawn Layover, but please note that all attendees will be subject to the same security screening process and bag policy as fans entering Allianz Field.
Watch Party
If you aren’t attending the match inside Allianz Field, you can still live it up with your fellow loyal Loons in real time at the first-ever watch party on the Great Lawn. A giant screen outside the stadium’s north end will broadcast the entirety of the match, including warmups and pregame, so that you can keep the party going even without a seat in the bowl.
