Columbus Crew History
On June 15, 1994, Columbus, Ohio was introduced as the first of the 10 inaugural Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs. With more than 11,500 season ticket deposits and plans to build a soccer-specific stadium, the decision to award a team to Ohio's capital city was an easy one. Exactly four years and 11 months later on May 15, 1999, The Crew forever etched its place in American Sports History by christening Columbus Crew Stadium, the country's first major league stadium built specifically for soccer, with a 2-0 win over the New England Revolution. A standing-room-only crowd of 24,741 witnessed the event, which was hailed by then MLS Commissioner, Doug Logan as a "relaunching of the league." The road to Crew Stadium's inception has also seen "America's Hardest Working Team" leave a legacy of firsts behind, as the Black and Gold established itself as one of the top organizations in Major League Soccer both on and off the field.
Columbus Crew Players
The Columbus Crew is more known for being the first for everything as opposed to a long list of players. Born from the legacy of the 1994 World Cup held in the United States, Major League Soccer has harnessed the momentum from what most considered to be the most successful World Cup in soccer history. Not only is MLS establishing itself as the fifth major professional sports league in America, but it also strives to create and sustain a type of soccer that is entertaining and competitive on an international level. Chad Marshall is perhaps the franchise's most important player. In the 58th minute of Saturday’s match against the Philadelphia Union, Marshall became the 46th field player in MLS’s 18 years to play 20,000 minutes. He will go down in history as one of the best to play for the crew!
Columbus Crew Playoffs
The Columbus Crew has an impressive curriculum in the MLS, they have won the MLS Cup two times in 2008 and 2020. They are constantly battling in the playoffs and have proven to be a very difficult team to beat.
