How will soccer fans get to Minnesota United's new stadium?

St. Paul officials are expecting all 19,000-plus seats at Allianz Field to be filled Saturday for Minnesota United's first pro soccer game at the new stadium.

But with limited parking available, city officials are hoping lots of fans will walk, ride their bikes and — especially — take public transportation to the game.

"Our hope and expectation is that a lot of fans are going to want to take advantage of the Green Line and the A line to get to the game," said Sam Fettig, who is in charge of soccer-related communications for the city. "Quick easy in and out, drops you right at the door. And the team and the city are also working to provide good parking options for fans who want to drive."

A transportation plan prepared for the city estimates that more than a third of stadium patrons will take light rail or bus rapid transit to the stadium. It also estimates that nearly a quarter will walk, bike, take the bus, hail a taxi or use a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft.
