Soccer | Crew: Precourt talks stadium as MLS teams build theirs

By Adam Jardy The Columbus Dispatch  •  Sunday October 30, 2016 8:46 AM

There is a growing facilities race in Major League Soccer, one that started here 17 years ago with the completion of Crew Stadium, as it was known then.

With expansion fees rising to record levels and the demand for new teams at an all-time high, the search for the latest and greatest is drawing a thicker line between the haves and the have-nots.

It’s one reason that Crew SC investor-operator Anthony Precourt, as he surveyed happenings around the league, recently authorized a survey determining interest for a new stadium in Columbus as part of the team’s long-term planning.
