On October 23rd, 2015, team owners announced that Minnesota United would build a stadium on the 35-acre Saint Paul bus barn site.

Allianz Field was designed by Populous, a global architectural firm. The stadium boasts the latest in amenities and technology while also being sustainably designed to minimize environmental impact and energy usage. Its elegant “flow” design concept features LED lighting throughout the facility. The 360-degree canopy over the bowl protects fans and players from the elements, reduces light and noise from spilling into the neighbourhood, and creates an intimate and intimidating home pitch atmosphere.

The nearest airport to the Allianz Field is Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) which is approximately 7 miles away. There are several airlines that fly from London to Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) with a flight time of approximately 9 hours. Some of the airlines that operate direct flights from London to MSP include Air France, Delta Air Lines and Virgin Atlantic.

If you are already in the US and looking to travel to/from Minnesota, then you have the choice of most US domestic airlines including Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, American Eagle, Frontier Airlines, Jet Blue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airways and WestJet.

Allianz Field is conveniently located for Metro Transit, making it easy to get to the stadium from locations all over the Twin Cities. METRO Green Line trains, A Line buses and local buses stop just outside the stadium. You can get on the METRO Green Line from downtown St. Paul or downtown Minneapolis and head to Snelling Ave. Station for easy access to Allianz Field. You could also make use of apps such as Moovit to get directions to the arena.

Rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft are also available in the vicinity with a designated drop-off zone.

There are several neighbourhoods to stay in when visiting the Allianz Field including Downtown Saint Paul and University/Dinkytown and beyond the Airbnb and Sonder options, there are many hotels to choose from to suit all budgets.

Downtown Saint Paul offers many attractions and activities for tourists including the Science Museum of Minnesota, Landmark Center, and Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. Visitors can explore the history and culture of Saint Paul while enjoying the amenities of a modern city.

Dinkytown is a neighbourhood known for its vibrant atmosphere and offers a variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options.
