Today marked the unveiling of a massive new installation at the National Sports Center in Blaine, the official Training Ground for Minnesota United FC. The giant soccer ball — seven feet in diameter and weighing nearly half a ton — was installed on a base in front of the Schwan’s Welcome Center and is decorated with representations of 134 youth clubs from Minnesota and Wisconsin, the Minnesota State Referee Committee, the North States Soccer League, the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association, and the North and South Dakota and Wisconsin Soccer Associations. Players coming to NSC for tournaments and events will be able to find their program’s name or badge on the ball when they arrive.
