Pregame Programming
Sun Country Pre-Party
The Sun Country Pre-Party has it all! Starting at 3:30 p.m. on the Great Lawn, we’ve got food, live music by cover band Viva Knievel, and all sorts of fun in store, including Target’s player card studio, a Year 10 scarf giveaway for the first 1,000 fans to visit the card studio, and more.
March to the Match
Ready to get hyped up for the game alongside other loyal Loons? Join the Wonderwall March to the Match by meeting at The Calling loon sculpture an hour before kickoff. From there, you’ll make your way to the Bell Bank SW Entrance and into the stadium to cheer on the team. All fans are encouraged to join the fun, and Sections 21–23 in the Supporters Section will be reserved for those of you in the Wonderwall.
Make Entry Easy
The best way to ensure a seamless matchday experience is to show up early (we recommend at least 30 minutes prior to kickoff) and familiarize yourself with Allianz Field’s bag policy. Lines outside the stadium might look long, but will move fairly quickly provided guests are prepared with approved bags and digital tickets.

The first 8,000 fans through the gate will receive a clear Target crossbody bag, plus a $5 off Target coupon! And be sure to swing by Bullseye’s Prize Machine on the concourse for your shot at winning cool prizes, including MNUFC swag, Target gift cards, and more.

Jerseys Off Our Backs
Following the game, Minnesota United will host a special “Jerseys Off Our Backs” experience, presented by Target.

Do Some Good!
Pop It and Drop It
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.
Reduce Your Waste with BizRecycling and WM
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.
