Holding up a strong position in the NASL currently, Minnesota United are making tracks when it comes to becoming an MLS team. With plans rolling, the club have released stadium renderings of what will be their home from 2018.
Singing and dancing to an engineered sound with a shine to boot, this 20,000 seater home is one of due care and attention. Not simply mod-cons for the sake of it, the list of bespoke features that have been penned out, all with the aim of creating the best possible experience are of enviable proportions. A case in point for these elite surroundings is that of a canopy that shapes around the proposed bowl that aims to protect fans and players from the elements.
In commenting on the designs, principal owner of the club William McGuire describes the aspirations, “This world-class venue will not only offer our fans an iconic professional soccer experience, but also provide our team with the necessary tools to establish themselves as a top-tier professional soccer club.” Undoubtedly on course, the dream comes with high hopes, “We want this facility to be the cornerstone of professional soccer throughout our state and the North. We expect this facility to serve as a catalyst for additional development that inspires greater livability in this area. We are proud to say that the fulfilment all of these goals appears to be on track."
A club well designed all over, from branding to boot rooms, it's another one to watch and with a $150 million in the offing, there's no bigger statement of intent. There's more about the project here.
