All is not well in the Twin Cities.

After winning an MLS expansion bid in March, Minnesota United FC is suddenly facing the possibility of losing their spot in North America’s top division in 2017. As a result of the Minnesota state legislature adjourning for the year without settling the club’s stadium issue, their bid remains in doubt ahead of the July 1st deadline imposed by MLS.

As part of the original agreement struck between the team and MLS United FC needed to secure a soccer-specific stadium in downtown Minneapolis in order to keep the bid. The club has had designs for a spot next to Target Field (home of the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball) but they were unable to come to an agreement with the state legislature in receiving tax breaks for developing the stadium. The project would be in the West Loop neighborhood and approximately cost $120 million. Brooklyn Park has also been in discussion as a possible site.

Although the United FC’s ownership were not looking for the legislature to provide any public spending for the new stadium (aside from municipal projects like sidewalks and traffic lights) the tax breaks have been a main sticking point. Although it is a rarity in American sports for ownership to offer to pay for a stadium fully, depending upon the tax breaks it could end up being to the detriment of the state of Minnesota.

So what comes next? If Minnesota United FC do not meet the July 1st deadline then MLS could in theory revoke their bid. United FC were contested in the bidding process with the owners of the Minnesota Vikings, the Wilf family. If United FC cannot get a stadium bill done by next week, or at least something appease MLS, then the Wilfs could be back in play.

As of right now MLS are not saying much about it. In press conference today, MLS Commissioner Don Garber said, “They’ve got an upcoming deadline to hopefully finalize something with their stadium, so I’m not going to comment on it until that deadline is upon us. I’ve got a lot of respect for Bill McGuire and his partners. We love the market, we want to see something happen there, and we’ll wait and see.”

One alternative that has been pitched is that United FC could end up playing at Target Field while the situation is resolved. This would be similar to the situation that NYCFC find themselves in at Yankee Stadium. But Garber shot that down saying, “No, that wasn’t the agreement we made with them. We can make different decisions in different markets. That’s one thing being the boss allows us to be able to do.”
