Allianz Field opened in 2019 in St. Paul's Midway neighborhood and was purpose-built for Minnesota United FC with atmosphere in mind. It holds just under 19,500 fans in a tight, covered bowl with a large standing supporter section — the Wonderwall — behind the north goal that drives what has become one of the better atmospheres in MLS. The dark interior and focused design make it feel intentionally intimate.
The Midway neighborhood sits between Minneapolis and St. Paul, historically a working-class area that's seen significant development since the stadium opened. The Green Line Light Rail stops at Snelling Avenue, a short walk from the gates, making it easy to reach from both downtowns. A number of bars and restaurants have emerged nearby since the stadium's opening, and the overall experience has improved steadily as the neighborhood develops around it.
MSP is about 14 miles south of Allianz Field. Rideshare runs $25–40. The Metro Green Line connects MSP via downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul, with a stop near the stadium. Allow 45–55 minutes by transit.
ADA spaces are in nearby lots. The accessible drop-off zone is near the main entrance on Snelling Ave. For accessibility accommodations, contact Minnesota United FC at mnufc.com.
On-site parking is limited. Midway-area lots and garages are within a 10-minute walk but fill fast on sellouts. Pre-book through SpotHero. The Green Line beats fighting for parking.
Supporter groups (Dark Clouds, True North Elite) make one of MLS's best pre-match atmospheres. The lots around Allianz Field and nearby University Ave bars are active 90+ minutes before kickoff. Check supporter social channels for organized events.
The Metro Green Line stops at Snelling Ave, an 8-minute walk from the main entrance. It runs from downtown Minneapolis through the University of Minnesota campus to Saint Paul. Metro Transit extends service on match nights.
Rideshare drop-off is near the main entrance on Snelling Ave. After matches the Midway is congested, so the Green Line is the cleanest exit. Walk a few blocks toward University Ave before requesting a ride to cut surge pricing.
Allianz Field is in Saint Paul's Midway neighborhood, with bars and restaurants along University Ave. The Green Line corridor has developed around the stadium since 2019. Walking in from Midway or Frogtown is easy.
Bike parking is available near the stadium. The Greenway and Midway trails make cycling practical from several neighborhoods.

This compact soccer-specific stadium opened in 2019 in St. Paul. The lower bowl is steep and intimate, keeping midfield sections close to the touchline. The atmosphere is among the best in the league.
Upper bowl midfield sections give a solid view of the entire pitch, and the compact design keeps you close to the game. Good value for most matches. Minnesota United sells well, so lower bowl tickets can be competitive for big matches.
The Wonderwall, the supporter section at the south end, is among the best in MLS: loud, visual and passionate. It's standing, and the view of the full pitch is limited. Corner sections also have restricted sightlines. For watching the game, pick midfield in the lower or upper bowl. The Wonderwall's noise carries throughout.
The stadium runs roughly north-south, with the main stand on the west side facing east. The west side gets shade earlier in the afternoon. The east side gets more direct sun for late-afternoon kickoffs. Summer sun is mild, but the west side is still more comfortable for afternoon games.
There is no roof. Games in March, April, September and October can be cold, so bring real layers. May through August is typically comfortable to warm. The compact design gives some wind shelter. Summer games here have some of the best weather and atmosphere in MLS.
Main Concourse - Minneapolis Vietnamese restaurant serving pho and banh mi.
Supporter's Terrace - Minnesota craft beer pioneer pouring Furious IPA and rotating taps.
Section 118 - Northeast Minneapolis Eastern European deli serving handcrafted kielbasa and brats.
The Dark Clouds and allied supporter groups organize pre-match gatherings in the neighborhoods surrounding Allianz Field in Saint Paul's Midway area before home matches. Several bars along University Avenue host supporters before kickoff. Check Dark Clouds social media for current pre-match meetup details.
Minnesota United's supporter sections 20–24 at Allianz Field — known as the Wonderwall — are a general admission standing area behind the north goal led by the Dark Clouds. Coordinated chanting, tifo displays, and consistent atmosphere have made Allianz Field one of MLS's stronger home venues. Non-Minnesota United apparel is not permitted in the supporter sections.
The Dark Clouds keep a songs and chants page on their website — dark-clouds.com/about-us/songs-chants.
PK's Place, next to Allianz Field, is a 16,000-square-foot, storybook-themed, fully inclusive playground with 25 activities for kids of all ages and abilities. It's free and open daily 7am–11pm, not just on match days.
Nursing: The Mother's Room, southeast corner behind Section 19, was renovated with Target. It has a bottle warmer, diapers, baby-friendly soap and sunscreen, plus a reading and play space for toddlers.
