Good Morning Joanne,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
We are volunteers who answer yard and garden questions. We are not familiar with every different hybrid of trees and shrubs on the market. I researched the Matador Maple. It is a hybrid distributee by First Editions: https://firsteditionsplants.com/product/matador-maple/
You might contact them to ask detailed questions abouto the Matador.
Here is a link to the Brandywine maple: https://shop.arborday.org/brandywine-maple
I am attaching another document on the Brandywine maple. This information indicates the Brandywine prefers acidic soil. Have you had your soil tested? Link to soil testing:

The metropolitan twin cities generally does not have acidic soil.
You might consider consulting with a certified arborist about your choice: https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/how-hire-tree-care-professional
I am not familiar with a seedless maple, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Good Luck!
