Both Minnesota’s home and away jerseys will be revealed at the Machine Shop in Minneapolis at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 17, but there is an image floating around the internet of what is thought to be the home shirt.
The club has a piece running through the brief history of soccer jerseys to put its kit reveal in context.
It’s official: no tailgating at Minnesota United matches at TCF Bank Stadium
While we suspected as much for a while when information about parking for season ticket holders came out, it’s been confirmed by Andy Greder that there will be no tailgating allowed in University of Minnesota lots before United games.
I know for many fans that tailgating was a big part of their fun on gamedays up in Blaine. It’ll be interesting to see what kinds of workarounds will be made by the larger supporters groups and people interested in tailgating.
Med City FC secures partnership with Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine
The Rochester, Minn. based club announced Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine as its title sponsor ahead of its inaugural NPSL campaign. Louis Garcia reported for FiftyFive.One that Med City will not only benefit financially from the partnership, but will receive performance, nutrition, and sports psychology services from the renowned medical practice and research group.
Med City also announced the signing of its first player, Midhat Mujic. The Bosnian immigrant turned Rochester local turned out for Minnesota United’s reserve team in the Premier League of America last season.

- MNUFC’s next stadium update will be on Feb. 28, according to Andy Greder.
- Jeb Brovsky appeared on the most recent episode of the Show Your Scars podcast.
- Miriam Hickey has been named the head of U.S. Soccer Girls’ Development Academy.
- Colorado now has a soccer club sponsored by a pot dispensary.
- Barack Obama follows only one soccer team on twitter, the terrible SV Darmstadt 98 currently in last place in the Bundesliga. The team is understandably excited about that.
