UNRL Tradition Drop

The third MNUFC x UNRL drop is here, and it’ll sell out fast. The Tradition drop takes its inspiration from Allianz Field after sundown, when its signature blue lights make the home of the Loons a beacon in the Midway neighborhood. Shop the drop at the Black and Blue Team Store in Section 27 at this match! Fans looking to get their hands on a piece of the Tradition drop may want to enter as soon as the gates open — supplies are limited.

James RodrĂ­guez Ticket + T-Shirt Redemption

If you purchased the James Rodríguez Ticket + T-Shirt Ticket Pack for this match, you’ve got a shirt waiting for you! Swing by Ticket Central on the concourse outside of Section 17 to claim your shirt.
