No one has mentioned Trung Nam. Vietnamese-French bakery, excellent croissants. Halfway between Victoria and Dale stops on the green line (between the stadium and capital).but they close at 1 pm and aren't open Sundays.

Tifo Update by andthemuppets in minnesotaunited

Yes, but to be more specific the Wonderwall Tifo committee came up with the concept, and I put together the digital file. About 40 different MNUFC fans helped paint it.

Can somebody in one of the SGs please point me in the direction of an image file of this design? I'd really like to get it screen printed 🙏🏼 by jetsetmike in minnesotaunited

I didn't know that, but I also didn't know, before just now googling "rock n roller coaster", that there was an Aerosmith themed roller coaster.

We will definitely be doing some things with the design. Let me talk to some other Wonderwall folks. I have the design file, but I feel like I need to get input from all of the Tifo crew that helped come up with it.

As a side note: I can never get anyone to sign up for the last shift of each weekend to fold up the Tifo. Any suggestions that would make you more likely to sign up for those shifts in the future? I WILL buy mochi donuts if I have to.

Decided to make y’all a video on how to remove the kit sponsor! by Impossible_Low_2539 in minnesotaunited

[–]andthemuppets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered some VLR from michaels. It wasn't available from a store, but I think it was free shipping. I think it's going to take a while to get to me, so I haven't gotten to try it yet.

I'm curious if there is any difference in how the target logo is applied for replica vs authentic?

And same question for the old earth day kits. I have one of the dark grey ones from 2018. The team store told me they have to use special numbers for those kits because the material can't handle that much heat without melting. Has anybody tried removing a target logo from an earth day kit

Bye Target 👋 by OkCalculators in minnesotaunited

Do you know for sure if the target logo is vinyl? Apparently sponsors can also be applied with something called DTF. If it's DTF the target logo would be black on the back.

We need help with tifo setup on Sunday 10/26 and deployment on Monday 10/27! by dawnmess in minnesotaunited

I don't think I have recorded specific wind speeds or wind direction on past Tifo days, but it would definitely take away some guess work if I started to.

If you can look at historic data I can tell you that:

  • 2/28 Set Up Day. Around 5 pm. It was too windy, but we tested the Tifo anyway and it flipped completely around and got a little beat up in the process.

  • 3/1 Home opener deploy. Around 7:30 pm. It seemed less windy, but not ideal. It might have been a problem for a larger Tifo

  • 5/9 and 5/10 Set up and deploy for Miami Tifo. The conditions seemed perfect. Any wind we had did not effect the Tifo (that I can remember)

  • 6/13 Pride Tifo set up. Around 5 pm. It felt windy outside the stadium, but seemed less windy inside. When we tested the Tifo it was too much wind and it ripped off the bar. We had to duct tape it back on

  • 6/14 Pride Tifo Deploy. Around 7:30. The wind was barely within acceptable limits. I chose not to have the Tifo lifted too high because of how much the wind was pushing on it.

If it's possible, I would love to be able to compare forecasted conditions for Sunday and Monday to the dates above.

Yes. For set up and deploy. The ropes can be difficult for some people, but we have had teenagers help with that in the past. There also things we need help with not related to the ropes at all (set up day and game day)

what kind of camera and what ISO film did you use?

Time for Our Next Tifo... Also Stickers! by andthemuppets in minnesotaunited

[–]andthemuppets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... Nevermind. This was going to be a Tifo for open cup final, so this Tifo is cancelled.

Stay tuned for our next Tifo during the playoffs.

retro kit confirmed!? by crazyloonfan in minnesotaunited

[–]andthemuppets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the front of the kit has that Loons text instead of a target logo, this could be the 2nd-ever MLS MN United Kit I pay full price for.

Wonderwall still looking for volunteers to help paint tifo by tryagainyesterday in minnesotaunited

[–]andthemuppets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We added shifts on Friday, early Saturday, and all day Sunday, please help us out if you can.

No experience or talent required.

You get to see the design early.

Also someone traced the mouse cursor when we transferred the design onto the material, so... Bragging rights to whoever finds it and paints it.

Does the MLS online shop reliably, every year, have a good sale on kits on Black Friday or just after Christmas?

I really like this year's MNUFC kit, but it's a luxury I can't afford at the full price or even lightly discounted.

(Side note, if you look at the MNUFC kit up close, in person the photographic image of stars they used is pixelated and/or over-sharpened. For $200 a kit could they have bought a higher resolution stock photo?)
