Description

The sculpture reads as smooth lettering from a distance, resolving into individually legible inscribed names within about 12 feet, each waterjet-cut into aluminum panels. It honors the "Itasca Society," Minnesota United FC's founding season-ticket members, and sits in the public plaza Populous also designed around the stadium. The project won a 2021 SEGD Global Design Award Merit Award in the Public Installation category.
