Game Central

Native American Heritage Game, Presented by Grand Casino

In their midweek match, the Loons were left stunned in stoppage time after DC completed a last-minute comeback. However, the Boys in Black and Blue have a chance to bounce back quickly in front of the Loons faithful. For their next fixture, the Loons will stay in St. Paul and face off against a San Jose squad that has struggled this season. Currently, the Californian side is sitting in last place in the Western Conference with only 14 points to their name. With the second half of the season in full swing and the Leagues Cup break looming, they have more reason than ever to come out swinging. Both teams will be playing on tired legs after Wednesday night games that saw both sides lose at home by a one-goal margin. Three points this weekend would do wonders to help the Loons head into the Leagues Cup break with a bit of momentum, and set them up for a strong finish once they return to league action in late August. To catch all of the action in person, purchase your ticket now at SeatGeek.com. Can't make it to the Midway? No problem; there are plenty of ways to watch. Join your fellow faithful fans at a Loons Watch Spot for food, drinks, and a fun football experience. Stream the game with Apple TV's MLS Season Pass or listen in on 1500 ESPN.
