For more than 150 years, the Minnesota State Fair has crowned the end of summer in a glorious explosion of sun, fun, rides and fried food for millions of visitors. MNUFC celebrated its seventh year at the State Fair by asking fans to put their #CornDogsUp and with events and appearances by players in its booth inside Fan Central at the intersection of Dan Patch and Underwood Avenues.
Over the first week of the fair, fans could play soccer billiards and challenge each other to FIFA matches, plus players including Mason Toye, Harrison Heath and Ethan Finlay were regular fixtures, signing autographs, taking pictures and answering questions.
A major attraction was the booth’s prize wheel, which gave contestants a chance to win everything from sunglasses to lip balm to temporary tattoos to hats to the big prize: a brand new television courtesy of Element.
With another week to go, fans still have plenty of opportunities to stop by and win prizes like tickets, get discounts on merchandise and catch more player appearances as MNUFC heads toward the season’s final home game and aims to pack 50,000 fans into TCF Bank Stadium for #50kToMidway!
