Minnesota United FC Selects Mortenson to Build St. Paul Soccer Stadium

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Minnesota United FC recently announced it has selected Mortenson Construction as the construction manager for the team’s planned $120-million, 20,000-seat stadium in St. Paul, Minnesota. The stadium will be the home for Major League Soccer in the state of Minnesota.

Construction on the stadium is planned to begin in 2016. It will be located between Minneapolis and St. Paul, at the intersection of Snelling and University avenues, in the Midway area of St. Paul with adjacent access to multiple transit options including the METRO Green Line and Interstate 94. Design of the stadium will be led by Populous, a sports architecture and design firm. Mortenson and Populous have partnered on numerous sports facility projects over the years, including Target Field, TCF Bank Stadium and Xcel Energy Center. The companies are currently working together on SunTrust Park for the Atlanta Braves and Colorado State University Stadium.

Mortenson recently completed the renovation of Amalie Arena (home of the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning) and is working on SunTrust Park (home of the MLB Atlanta Braves) and U.S. Bank Stadium (home of the NFL Minnesota Vikings).
