Minnesota United Breaking Ground Monday On Soccer Stadium

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota United plans to break ground on a new soccer stadium in St. Paul next week.

The team has scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony for Monday at 2 p.m. in the Snelling-Midway area.

United is making the jump from the second-tier North American Soccer League to Major League Soccer. The team will begin play in 2017 on the University of Minnesota's campus while construction of the new stadium is completed.

Last week United hired former Orlando City coach Adrian Heath as coach.
