About Me


On June 15, 1994, Columbus Ohio was introduced as the first of 10 inaugural Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs. With more than 11,500 season ticket deposits and plans to build a soccer-specific stadium, the decision to award a team to Ohio’s capital was an easy one.
Exactly four years and 11 months later, on May 15, 1999, The Crew forever etched its place in American sports history by christening Columbus Crew Stadium, the country’s first major league stadium built specifically for soccer. A standing-room only crowd of 24,741 looked on as The Crew defeated New England, 2-0, in what was hailed by then-MLS Commissioner Doug Logan as a “relaunching of the league.”
In fact, The Crew has left behind a legacy of first on its way to establishing itself as one of the top organizations in Major League Soccer, both on and off the field.
