This year marks the 10th season Minnesota United has been competing in Major League Soccer. Over the years we have captured a variety of moments featuring the Loons. Here is a selection of photos that holds significance to each photographer as we look back in celebration of this milestone.
MNUFC made their MLS debut in 2018 against fellow expansion side, Atlanta United. It was a snowy 6-1 thrashing by Atlanta United at TCF back then but the Loons can seek revenge in their new home tonight. The Five Stripes make their Allianz Field debut this evening at 7:30pm.
