ARound, Minnesota United FC, and Target Unveil First Ever In Stadium AR Experience in Major League Soccer
Starting August 24, 2024 and continuing throughout the season, ARound will bring to life a new Minnesota United tradition, "Loons Liftoff." This experience allows fans to hit targets and collect points as they work as a community to summon "The Dethloon," a nod to Minnesota United's fan culture and beloved mascot. Participants can also scan a QR code for a chance to win a Target gift card.
"This collaboration with ARound and Target exemplifies our commitment to innovation and community," said Evan Entler, Vice President of Digital Media at Minnesota United. "We're excited to see how fans react to this unique blend of tradition and cutting-edge technology."
