Saturday, July 3, 2021, did not feel real. It was kind of the same way October 16, 2017, did not feel real.
I’m partial to July 3, though.
Walking to Lower.com Field, the Columbus Crew’s new downtown stadium, from the parking garage was electric. I’m not from the heart of Columbus, despite how much time I spend there. But the location of Lower.com Field opened a whole new side of the city for me.
I’ve never been past Huntington Park, and my friends and I agreed, there’s so much more to Columbus than we thought.
