As first reported by SB Nation’s E Pluribus Loonum, and later confirmed by FiftyFiveOne, Munich-based insurance company Allianz will sponsor the new Minnesota United stadium, which is projected to be completed in late 2018/early 2019, reportedly in time for 2019’s opening match at the latest.
This will be the 7th stadium worldwide that is sponsored by Allianz, the most famous being Munich’s Allianz Arena, which is home to Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich. This however, is the first Allianz-sponsored facility in North America. This partnership makes a lot of sense, as the Allianz North American headquarters are in the Twin Cities.
