Match Presented by Finley's

Your Loons are back in Midway for one of the last home games of the regular season, hosting the Portland Timbers in a big-time matchup that could push Minnesota even closer to the top of the West. A victory means the Black and Blue would clinch a spot in the playoffs on the earliest matchday in club history. With a motivated Timbers side looking to break a four-game winless streak (across all competitions) as they battle for a playoff spot with 38 points, second-place Minnesota will need to present an even-keeled front to not only hold down the fort, but come away with the crucial full three points.

The stakes are high and the opposition is strong, with the likes of Kristoffer Velde and MatĂ­as Rojas joining the roster during the transfer window. But your home team is in fine form, coming off back-to-back wins and adding former Hartford Athletic striker Mamadou Dieng to the lineup, presenting a strong frontline option off the bench. Join us at Allianz Field for an electric Saturday night.

Before You Leave

  • Plan your route to the stadium by reading up on our parking and transit options.
  • Get your parking pass in advance via SeatGeek.com to guarantee your spot and save time at the lots.
  • Check out our clear bag policy to make the entry process easy!
  • Reminder that you CAN bring empty, clear, plastic water bottles into the stadium. If your water bottle doesn’t meet that standard, you’ll have to leave it at home. Even if it’s made of 100% pure titanium and can be taken to the bottom of the ocean, it can’t be taken into Allianz Field.
  • Bring your card. Allianz Field is a cashless facility.
