Overview
Allianz Field, the new soccer-specific home for Minnesota United FC, serves as the focal point for a new mixed-use development on a 35-acre site in St. Paul, Minnesota. Team owners envisioned a beautiful and intimate stadium that rivals the best European soccer venues. PanStadia & Arena Management caught up with the project team to delve into the details behind creating this one-of-a-kind venue.
“Allianz Field demonstrates the power of an integrated structural and enclosure engineering team while bringing a new material to stadium design, notes Justin Barton, Walter P Moore Project Manager, along with David Landis, Principal in Charge.
Minnesota United FC and Populous set clear goals: an exterior skin that would protect fans from inclement weather but have translucency so energy generated on the pitch pulsated outside the stadium.
Walter P Moore, working with Saint-Gobain, developed a new fabric to meet those requirements.”
