Allianz Field rose in Saint Paul's Midway neighborhood as the home stadium for Minnesota United FC, the city's Major League Soccer franchise. Construction crews erected the 19,400-seat venue between 2017 and 2019, using a steel structural frame designed by architecture firm Populous. The stadium's roof canopy and open-air bowl were engineered to concentrate crowd noise over the pitch, a feature the club has promoted as one of the loudest atmospheres in MLS. Total construction costs ran to roughly $250 million, funded privately by the team's ownership group. The stadium opened in April 2019 with a capacity crowd for its first regular-season match.
