What is the Fan Zone?

The Fredrikson Fan Zone brings the same high-energy programming found at the University of Minnesota directly to the National Sports Center, serving as the dedicated northern hub for celebration and community. Visitors can grab a bite from local food trucks, explore partner activations, and shop the USA Games Merch Trailer, while a DJ-led dance area keeps the atmosphere upbeat throughout the day. Interactive experiences invite fans to jump in the action, while large-scale photo installations and a live mural add a creative, visual energy to the space. You can find the Fredrikson Fan Zone situated on Field 58, located south of the Soccer and Flag Football competition fields and just north of the Victory Links Golf Course clubhouse.
