If what every Columbus Crew SC fan has known for some time didn’t quite seem believable, that notion changed completely on Wednesday afternoon. After an official joint press conference held by MLS Commissioner Don Garber, the Crew’s new ownership group and and new coach and president, it is officially official: the Crew is here to stay. Simply stated by the CEO of the Columbus partnership Alex Fischer, who played a large role in keeping the team, “This is a fantastic way to kick off the new Crew year.”
“It really is the dawn of a new era for our league,” MLS Commissioner Don Garber added during his opening statements.
