It turns out being a season-ticket holder with Minnesota United doesn’t mean all that much anymore.
In the beginning of the Loons’ Major League Soccer era, season ticket holders became part of the mysterious Itasca Society. Those 11,482 fans (one for each lake in the state of Minnesota) seemed to be something special for the club, and they will be commemorated at Allianz Field on a sculpture.
Shortly after United announced that fans’ names would be going on that sculpture, the Itasca Society began to fall.
The club expectedly — and wisely — allowed for more season-ticket holders in 2018, thereby ending the special group of 11,482.
