Yesterday Minnesota United announced they had sold out the first areas of Allianz Field, this comes just a few days after they drew a (lower bowl) sellout crowd of 23,128 at TCF Bank Stadium. These thing have made me question why is Allianz Field being built so small!?
Selling out those first areas, even though there are only roughly 600 seats, especially considering these are premium seats, is definitely a big achievement. For context in 2011 when the club, then league owned and known as NSC Minnesota, won the NASL Championship but only drew a paltry 1,905 per match and was knocking on deaths door.
