Good Seats Available. #MNUFC
View + Photo: Granted it’s rainy and midweek, but #Loons-Houston at Allianz Field on Wednesday is one of smallest crowds in memory. I’ve thought about this a few times this year: St. Paul venue has lost some of the size, bite and decibels of yesteryear.

Photo + tidbit: Unprecedented lines around the block to get into Allianz Field to see Lionel Messi and Inter Miami play #MNUFC on Saturday in St. Paul. This is a good strategy for fans to see pregame warmups, which should begin around 2:48 p.m.

Confirmed: Lionel Messi traveling Friday from Florida to Minnesota for #MNUFC - Miami match on Saturday. In typical Argentine fashion, he’s traveling to St. Paul with yerba mate. (Photo from Inter Miami.)

Screenshot: New #MNUFC roster profile on May 1 denotes one open Under-22 Initiative spot, Joaquin Pereyra as a Designated Player (but his contract can be bought down to open up a DP spot this summer), Hassani Dotson has been moved to season-ending injury list and #Loons have $4 million in GAM.

Video: It’s hard to predict when a player will bag a brace, but for #MNUFC forward Tani Oluwaseyi, there were signs. This is from Thursday’s training session, with a celebration of a man who is really feeling himself.
