Anthony Precourt, chief executive officer of Precourt Sports Ventures which owns Columbus Crew SC, has announced that the company is looking into the idea of options away from Columbus which includes Austin, TX.
Declining attendance along with the league’s lowest ticket prices has led to losses in ticket revenue. MAPFRE Stadium has been the home of Crew SC since 1999 and has issues of its own – including an instance where the scoreboard caught fire - despite being one of the first soccer specific stadiums which was one of the foundations to keep Major League Soccer going at the time.
