In the lead-up to Minnesota United’s second home match, against Real Salt Lake, there was one thing weighing on defender Brent Kallman’s mind: getting enough tickets for his family. Two weeks earlier he had made his first MLS start for MNUFC against the Colorado Rapids.
“I know after the first game he played in Colorado, he was saying something about needing to get tickets for the next home game,” said his older brother (and former Loon) Brian Kallman. “I was like, ‘You think you're gonna start still?’ and he's like, ‘Oh yeah. No one's going to beat me, I'm not losing this spot.
