Allianz Field is the 19,400 seat capacity soccer stadium built in Saint Paul, Minnesota, for Minnesota United FC, the city’s Major League Soccer club.

The membrane wrapping around the stadium is a uniquely developed PTFE membrane material that reflects sunlight and appears silver during the daylight yet appears translucent at night.
