The 19,400 seat stadium will boast the latest in amenities and technology while also being sustainably designed to minimize environmental impact and energy usage. Construction on the new facility is expected to be complete by the start of the 2019 MLS season. Minnesota United will finance the estimated $150 million stadium, with it becoming publicly owned once construction is complete. Minnesota United was awarded an MLS franchise in 2015 in a highly competitive process that put Minnesota ahead of other major markets in the U.S.
