As a long time Columbus resident and Crew fan, I’ve listened to dozens of podcasts, read scores of articles and scanned thousands of tweets over the past few months on the potential Crew SC relocation. The concept of moving the team never felt fair. Columbus has a growing population and strong economy, the recent crest rebrand was a hit, the team itself has done great and 2015 and 2016 saw sellout records at the newly-named MAPFRE Stadium. I wondered, “What could be so terribly wrong?”
Through it all, I’ve seen little discussion of the impact of Mr. Anthony Precourt’s home address on the club’s situation.
