Hours
For Minnesota United matches, stadium gates generally open 90 minutes before the game, and parking lots generally open two and a half hours before kickoff. PK's Place, the playground on the east side of the stadium, is open year-round, 7 am to 11 pm daily.
“Fraser sensory kits will be made available, free-of-charge, for fans with sensory processing differences at guest services.”
“The kits include tools to use when an environment feels over- or under-stimulating. There are visual and communication tools to help individuals more actively engage in an experience, environmental modification tools to limit the intake of overwhelming stimuli, and safety tools so families are supported if they get separated during an outing.”
“These bags will be reusable and deemed as medical bags so that they can be brought in and utilized at each Allianz Field home game. Please limit one per family.”
Because you can't leave and come back in, even during a weather delay, plan breaks inside. Family restrooms are behind Sections 9, 19, 25, 30 and 36.
If noise is hard for your kid, pick seats away from the Supporters Sections, 20 to 24. Noisemakers aren't allowed in the general seating areas.
PK's Place, on the east side of the stadium, is “Completely free and fully inclusive,” with something for all kids from 2 to 12: more than 25 activities, including sensory panels, climbing, spinning, balancing and swinging elements, and a zip line. A playground visit on a non-match day lets your kid see the stadium before a match day.

Children two years old or younger get in free to Minnesota United games with a ticketed adult, and stay on the adult's lap. Single-game tickets are sold only through SeatGeek.com.
For ADA-accessible seating, call the Minnesota United Ticket Office at 763.4SOCCER (763.476.2237); the club strongly encourages calling before the match. On game day, the Minnesota United Ticket Office in the northeast corner of the stadium can switch regular seats to accessible seats only if any are still available. For other accessibility needs, call 763.4SOCCER or email tickets@mnufc.com; the club will do its best to help based on availability.
All guests and bags are searched before entering, with a magnetometer or hand-held metal detectors; guests with medical conditions that keep them from going through a magnetometer get an alternative screening. Bags are checked and tagged by security. There's no bag check, and prohibited items have to go back to the car.
Food, coolers of any kind, noisemaking devices, fireworks, balloons and balls are on the prohibited list, along with laptops, iPads, tablets and other large electronic devices. Families can bring diaper bags and milk or formula as needed. There's no place to check items at the gates. The full list is in the A-Z Guide.
Strollers are welcome but not allowed in seating sections or on the concourse. Check them in at the Guest Services Booth on the concourse near Section 8; premium ticket holders check strollers at the Premium Entry desk.
Pick up a child wristband that shows your seat location at the guest services booth behind Section 8. Children and fans separated from their group are walked by a stadium staff member to the Guest Services Booth by Section 8.
The First Aid Room is on the concourse behind Section 25, and first aid teams are on the concourse too. Baby-changing stations are in all restrooms. The Mother's Room is in the southeast corner, behind Section 19.
For the vast majority of weather events, games are played as scheduled, including through rain, snow and extreme cold. A lightning strike within 30 miles stops the match for at least 30 minutes, and in severe weather fans are asked to move from their seats to the nearest concourse. Fans who leave during a weather delay can't come back in.
Reserve parking on SeatGeek.com up to two hours before kickoff, or buy it at the lots; parking is cashless. Single-Game Lots are generally a 5 to 10 minute walk, the Easy-In Lot about 15 minutes and the Best Value Lots about 20 minutes. For accessibility needs, the stadium recommends a pass in the Cub Foods Lot. The ADA drop-off is on the east side of the stadium near Simpson Street.
The Green Line light rail has a stop just outside the stadium. Rideshare pick-up and drop-off is at the southeast corner, near St Anthony and Pascal. Tailgating is prohibited.
