Correct. Another note, they are not renewing Chris Lidholm, who had been doing the PBP for Minnesota (In all of its incarnations) for 24 years
Unfortunately, I will be out of town for the game against the Galaxy. ----- Lot of home games in July.
I'm gonna have to get used to Sunday games. For some reason I have never liked them for soccer, hated when the Loons played in Canada for that very reason. Also really bummed there will be only one road match down in KC, was really hoping to have extra reasons to travel down there for some BBQ.
Official notice of broadcast team (but not channel) http://www.mnufc.com/post/2017/01/17/inaugural-broadcast-team-announced
Agreed, although I'd assume the sponsor would be brought to the front (also, is Atomic national or just out there in the midwest?).
Callum seems to be an alright pick. If anyone wants to hear how he does go here: http://www.callum-williams.com/ go to showreels to hear some Commentary. This is just a guess but I don't think Atomic Data could afford what the Loons are wanting for an MLS shirt sponsor. May just go without one for the first season. edit to add: we moved out of the expansion sub forum!
And finally...official notice of who the rest of the coaching staff will be. http://www.mnufc.com/post/2017/01/18/mnufc-finalizes-mls-coaching-staff Heath officially named Ian Fuller and Mark Watson as his assistant coaches and Marius Røvde as the goalkeeping coach for MNUFC's 2017 debut in Major League Soccer.
http://www.startribune.com/you-ve-got-mailbag-the-inaugural-blog/411112425/ @bteichr: Please find out if/when new kits will be announced. MR: OK, so, what I have learned about this is that United officially joined the league a little late, back in August. This gave Adidas a shorter turnaround time to design and produce the kits (aka, uniforms, for you new guys). The new threads should be out by end of February.
And as to my query earlier, Target will be the kit sponsor. Sorry if I missed this on here. Just saw it on @FiftyFiveOne's twitter. http://fiftyfive.one/2017/01/target-sponsor-minnesota-united-fc-jerseys-major-league-soccer/
The Thunder/Target jerseys were the bomb! Hope the Loons will look just as good. Happy and surprised to read it is within the top ten of league jersey sponsor deals.
I live out in Southern CA. De facto Galaxy territory (though I think we're reorganizing one of our NPSL teams into an NASL team---Albion Pros). But I'm one who likes the big target. So I like those old photos (look at that numbering, though!). A white Target logo might look better on those light blues than red, though. But maybe not. Can't wait for Feb to arrive . kitnerd
Yeah. Something like that. That the Thunder? Saw them at the Sacramento Geckos a couple times. Looks good, but I like a big bullseye logo with "TARGET" beneath.
I have a feeling it will be gray primary kits, with the small target and wordmark in one line, in white....like that second image dead fingers posted.
Testing out some new traveling gear...👊🏻I love this challenge and will give it my absolute best shot👌🏻#Preseason@MNUFC @MLSsupport pic.twitter.com/GNpTawnssy— Marius Roevde (@MariusRovde) January 22, 2017

I think someone had suggested MLS youtube channel will be streaming RSL vs. NYRB today. Not sure at the moment.
