It was March 5, 2020, the last time I visited the Columbus Crew training facility. Little did I know that day, as I went through my nearly-daily 20ish-minute drive to Obetz, Ohio, the small village southeast of Columbus where the Crew practice, that it would be the last time in over a year that I would be there.
I came home and it was later that evening that Major League Soccer announced it was monitoring that weekend’s Crew match at the Seattle Sounders two days later for the Coronavirus after a positive test was traced back to what was then CenturyLink Field.
