Game Central
After a long stretch of games in the Lone Star State, the Loons have returned home to take on Real Monarchs at the National Sports Center this Saturday. Historically, this matchup has been a bit of a toss up with the points evenly split with two wins per team and one draw taking place in their former five meetings. Both teams are coming into Saturday's match with a point to prove after losing their most recent match and playoff spots now on the line. Three points would go a long way for both sides that have struggled to maintain momentum this season so it is sure to be a tight game. Hopefully, with the homefield advantage back in the hands of the Boys in Black and Blue, the Twosies will be able to secure three points to help them make a move up the table. Make sure to come on down and get loud to help the Twosies make a push for the playoffs at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday; get your tickets today at SeatGeek.com. Can't make it to Blaine?

Autograph Alley
MNUFC2 players will be signing autographs on their way back to the locker room after the match. Fans that want to score some signatures should meet behind sections 3 and 4 of the seating bowl, where they will be guided down to the autograph area by event staff. Fans of all ages are invited to participate.
Postgame PKs
Once the players have cleared the field after Autograph Alley, fans between the ages of 3 and 15 will have the chance to take a PK on the very same turf that the team plays on.
