In recognition of the fans who have joined the team for its inaugural MLS season, Minnesota United FC is celebrating Fan Appreciation Day presented by Star Tribune for the team’s final regular season home match of the year on Saturday, October 7 when they face Sporting Kansas City. From the snowy home opener against Atlanta United to the team’s first win against Real Salt Lake to a recent string of matches with over 20,000 in attendance (including two sellouts), it’s the fans who have made the atmosphere and match day experience at TCF Bank Stadium the MVP of the Loons’ first MLS campaign.
The Gaffer Gnome package gets fans a ticket to the match and a limited edition Gaffer Gnome in the likeness of MNUFC Head Coach Adrian Heath. Standing seven inches tall, the gnome sports Heath’s standard match day apparel of white shirt and black slacks, plus a pointed hat in Minnesota blue.
Throughout the match, fans can enjoy highlights from the regular season on the video board along with thank-you messages from players. The match will be followed by a fireworks display, and match-worn jerseys will be available through an online “Shirt Off Their Backs” auction with proceeds benefiting The Tony Sanneh Foundation.
Season tickets for 2018 are now available, and becoming a season ticket holder puts you in line for seats at Minnesota United’s new home, Allianz Field, opening for the 2019 season in the Midway neighborhood of Saint Paul. To get your season tickets, visit MNUFC.COM or call 763.4SOCCER.
