Allianz Field is a soccer-specific stadium in Saint Paul, Minnesota, home to Minnesota United FC of Major League Soccer (MLS). Opening in 2019, the 19,400-seat stadium was designed by Populous, during the club's third MLS season. It is located near Interstate 94 and Snelling Avenue.
On October 23, 2015, team owners announced that Minnesota United would build a stadium on the 35-acre (14 ha) Saint Paul bus barn site.[3] The stadium seats approximately 19,400, was completed in early 2019,[4] and was privately financed for $200 million.[5][6][7]
On November 25, 2015, Minnesota United FC hired Kansas City-based Populous to design the stadium. On December 9, 2015, the team hired Mortenson Construction as part of the stadium construction along with Populous. Mortenson built U.S. Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings in 2014–2016,[8] and worked with Populous on three other Twin Cities sports facilities: Target Field, TCF Bank Stadium, and Xcel Energy Center.[9] Construction was completed in February 2019, and the stadium opened two months later on April 13, 2019, with Minnesota United FC hosting New York City FC.[10]
