Minnesota United held their final training session before the 2024 MLS season kicks off for them on February 23, 2024. The Loons were in a jovial mood before the training session as Emanuel Reynoso, Franco Fragapane, Sang Bin Jeong, and Moses Nyeman played teqball while others looked on with glee as they prepared for practice. After their drills a few players rolled out the teqball table once again. Reynoso and Fragapane enlisted Joseph Rosales and Kervin Arriaga to keep the competition going from earlier in the morning.

The Loons travel down to Austin tonight to open up their 2024 MLS season against Austin FC in their season opener that takes place on Saturday night at 7:30pm.
