It's a new year, new season for the Loons

The new Minnesota United stadium is taking shape in St. Paul, with the steel scaffolding looming over I-94 near Snelling Avenue.

Meanwhile, the Loons kicked off their second season in Major League Soccer on the road last weekend, with a 3-2 loss to San Jose. They play Orlando City on Saturday in Florida.

MPR News host Cathy Wurzer checked in with sports journalist Megan Ryan to find out how the new season's looking. Ryan covers Minnesota United for the Star Tribune.
