Although the Loons’ home opener didn’t go as planned against Real Salt Lake, the fans in the stands provided a huge lift for the team as they chanted and applauded. It had been 552 days since fans were able to step into Allianz Field and even though it was at a limited capacity, the Loons were thrilled to welcome them home — especially players getting their first start with Minnesota United.
“It was special to get those minutes and to start with this team for the first time, and to play with my teammates in that beautiful stadium in front of our fans,” said forward Juan Agudelo.
