Today's match day!!
Super excited to debut the 2024 Thunderwall logo!
Designed and created by @twelvecrow, they said "one of the first things that drew me to soccer was the graphic design and art that came from the team and the fans"

In case you didn't feel the disturbance in the Force, the MNUFC schedule was announced
Our Drum Major got over 50 messages in less than 2 hours
Yes, we're excited
Yes, we have a lot of work still this off season
Go Loons!
We had a great time at the Dark Clouds end of season party!
Congrats to our Drum Minor for winning traveler of the year!
And congrats to our merch day coordinator for creating an AMAZING poster of 20 years of DC scarfs!
We're proud of the time, energy, and effort our drummers put in all season
And the work put in by @TrueNorthElite @MNDarkClouds & @RedLoons both in Allianz and in our communities
Lots of plans being made for the offseason, so stay tuned!
Quote: #MNUFC Michael Boxall on #MLSCupPlayoffs loss to #LAGalaxy:
"We fought hard ... to get ourselves back in the game, especially when we got so many traveling fans as well. Disappointing. It does feel like we let them down. Been so lucky all year with the support we got."
This funny interaction should remind you that everyone in MN Supporters Culture are volunteers
We are season ticket holders or buy tickets match to match just like everyone else in attendance
We work hard
We play hard
We love what we do
Go Loons
3/3
A fun interaction, a thread:
Our drum major was recognized while working an activation prior to the Gophers football game
Them:
Ok, I know I know you, but I can't place it
Drum Major:
Do you attend MNUFC matches?
1/3
Them:
OMG, we do!
We're season ticket holders!
You're the drum guy!
Drum Major:
I am!
Them:
That must be the most fun way to make money ever!
Drum Major:
Actually, I don't get paid.
And neither do the drummers.
In fact, we buy tickets just like you do.
Them:
*disbelief*

Did you know marching with drums that aren't marching drums can cause injuries?
We bought some marching drums!
A big thank you to @MNWonderwall for letting us reallocate some funds and @TrueNorthElite @MNDarkClouds & @RedLoons for their continued support
Our leadership team met to review the season
Also in attendance were @MNWonderwall representatives and some guests
The seasons not over, and we're trying to cook up something AMAZING for away day this weekend!
Go Loons!
Shout out to our friends in the @fwdflock as they cheer on @ForwardMSNFC!
And on the other side, shout out to @ProudOwlsOMA & @OmahaParliament as they cheer on @Union_Omaha!
We hope both teams win, because we REALLY want another installment of the Birds Aren't Real Derby
For as long as I'm alive I will advocate for, support, and protect
My 2SLGBTQIA+ community
My BIPOC friends & neighbors
The right for everyone to be in charge of their own healthcare decisions
And the spaces where I'm blessed with leading will do the same
Alrighty
Our drum major has mostly recovered, so it's photo and video time!
Let's go in chronological order, so let's start with the march to the match!
