Columbus Crew SC fans took to Twitter last night after reading a tweet from soccer insider Grant Wahl about Investor/Operator Anthony Precourt seeking a new downtown stadium.
Columbus Crew owner Anthony Precourt is set to move team to Austin, Texas, in 2019 if downtown stadium can't happen in Columbus. Story soon.

If Precourt’s demands are not met, 2018 appears to be the final season for the Black & Gold in Columbus.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, Major League Soccer has filed trademarks for the Austin Athletic and Austin FC.
