Excitement surrounds the air in Central Ohio as, Crew 2, the Columbus Crew reserve team, is set to play its first-ever match on Saturday against Inter Miami II at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The club will play in the new MLS NEXT Pro league in its inaugural season and will play home matches at the Historic Crew Stadium, with one game this season scheduled to take place at the first-team crown jewel of Lower.com Field in downtown Columbus.
While the club as a whole views winning as important, Crew 2 general manager Corey Wray expressed the importance of development over everything else.
