2017 was a big year for soccer in Minnesota and particularly for Minnesota United FC. For the first time since 1981, a professional Minnesota soccer team played in the top flight of American soccer. Attendance topped out at almost 350,000 tickets sold, far out-pacing any other year since the Minnesota Kicks.
To commemorate this year, Byline Press (FiftyFive.One’s parent company) is publishing The Complete Darkness 2017, a print collection of articles, stats, and recaps for the Minnesota United season.
The book will be released on January 26th and includes:
- “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”: Amos Magee Comes Home, Settles Down, and Builds a Team
- The Top News of 2017
- All In: an extension of the profile of Brent Kallman in The Growler
- A dissection of team and player analytics
- Biographies of every player
- Tables of player statistics
- Recaps and statistics from every match
The book is available in print only for $12. The first 100 Dark Clouds members to purchase will get $2 off the price (see Dark Clouds newsletter for details). Patrons will also get discounts.
The 2017 Complete Darkness is the third of its kind, following the 2014 and 2015 editions.
