The Saint Paul City Council voted March 18 to approve a sound‑level variance for Allianz Field’s proposed Great Lawn concert series, allowing amplified sound for multiple Friday dates this summer.
Zachary Littleswold, senior director of event operations for Minnesota United / Allianz Field, presented the request and said the concert series is intended to provide smaller‑scale community entertainment around the stadium. The council took no public testimony beyond the applicant’s presentation and adopted the resolution by voice vote (7–0).
The approved variance covers specific dates identified in the resolution and applies to the Great Lawn area outside Allianz Field at 400 Snelling Avenue North.
What happens next: Allianz Field may proceed with event planning under the terms of the variance and any conditions set by the Department of Safety and Inspections.
