Minnesota United FC have made the playoffs twice in their brief MLS history and twice they’ve hosted playoff games. In an era of MLS expansion, DPs and parity, this is no small feat and should be applauded. Head coach Adrian Heath may never say “we’re satisfied, and where we want to be,” but they’re certainly headed in the right direction.
This is a Minnesota team that played its first two matches on the road, winning both, before the MLS season was paused. Then they went to Orlando and played in the MLS is Back Tournament. And then, six months after the season officially began, the Loons hosted a home game.
