Minnesota United: Three things to look forward to

Three things to ponder entering the offseason.

October 22, 2017 at 4:12AM

Three offseason things to ponder:

1. Roster changeups: Given the rush to assemble the 2017 squad, expect several roster changes. Coach Adrian Heath has not been satisfied with his team's performances this season.

2. Allianz Field: Yes, United will play one more year in TCF Bank Stadium, but the team's soccer-specific St. Paul home will be taking shape. If United can maintain its 20,000-fan average, it will be selling out Allianz Field in 2019.

3. More wins! Managing a respectable 10-17-6 record in their first year and avoiding finishing dead last, the Loons are bound to be better with a year of experience in hand. As a sign of their slow progression, consider that in the last 10 games of the season, the Loons tallied 14 points; in the first 10 games, they had 11.

The Gophers played with more urgency, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from another conference sweep, and they lost LJ Mooney to injury in the process.
