If you happened to catch a glimpse of a giant loon morphing into an MNUFC banner over Allianz Field in St. Paul on Thursday night, you weren’t seeing things.
Minnesota’s professional soccer team launched an elaborate, multi-colored drone show over the stadium a week ahead of its home opener against FC Cincinnati, and the team has scheduled an encore performance for Friday night.
There’s no price to swing by and see the show in person from the Great Lawn outside the stadium. The lawn opens at 6:30 p.m., followed by a 12-minute drone show at 7 p.m. and another at 9 p.m. Expect lights, music, interactive games and a visit from PK the Loons mascot to fill the space in between. Light snacks, including hot chocolate and coffee, will be served. Spectators are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets.
DGS United will be collecting hygiene and personal care donations to benefit Keystone Community Services, which provides grocery delivery and food distribution to those in need.
This is Minnesota United’s 10th year as an active member of Major League Soccer, having played its first game within MLS in 2017. Allianz Field opened in 2019.
