We are looking forward to cheering on our Mustangs Girls Soccer team at Thursday mornings’ state semi-final game vs. Lakeville North at U.S. Bank Stadium.
- The game is scheduled for 8:00 AM, and venue doors will open for spectators at 7:00 AM. Unfortunately, the game time falls directly within regular morning bus routing, which means a student fan bus will not be available. Students planning to attend the game must arrange their own transportation and parking.
- To ensure your student’s absence is properly accounted for, we ask that a parent or guardian email or call our attendance office to notify the school of their intention to attend the game.
- The match is expected to conclude between 9:30 AM and 9:45 AM. Students are to arrive back to school after the game no later than 10:30 AM. Third period begins at 10:39 AM.
Keep the following guidelines in mind for all attending spectators:
- All Minnesota State High School League tickets must be purchased online.
- Tickets are scanned from a phone.
- The MSHSL does not offer paper tickets or cash sales at the venue.
- A screenshot of your ticket will not scan or be accepted.
- Spectators enter through the Legacy Gate.
- U.S. Bank Stadium strictly prohibits backpacks and water bottles inside the facility.
- Mounds View fans will have a designated seating area, and U.S. Bank staff will direct us to our section.
- Games are scheduled back-to-back, and we have been asked to promptly exit following the conclusion of our match.
We are looking forward to a memorable event for our student-athletes and fans! Let’s go Mustangs!

"Radium Girls" is a gripping drama based on the true story of female factory workers poisoned by radium-based paint. The play follows Grace, Irene and Kathryn, who are instructed to shape their paintbrushes with their mouths while painting watch dials. As the women develop serious health problems, they fight for justice against a powerful industry, raising questions about corporate responsibility, workers’ rights and the human cost of pursuing profit.
