There’s an old saying that when one door closes, another door opens. That phrase could not be more fitting than for what’s gone on with the Columbus Crew the last few weeks.
While it was sad to say goodbye to historic Crew Stadium after more than 22 years on June 19 — although it’s really more like ‘see you later,’ as that venue is converted to the team’s new OhioHealth Performance Center — the Crew will open it’s brand new Lower.com Field on Saturday evening. While two other Major League Soccer stadiums opened this summer, the venue in downtown Columbus is truly the league’s new crowned jewel.
