Columbus built American soccer’s first temple in 1999 — and in 2021, it built its cathedral. Scotts Miracle-Gro Field (the Crew’s downtown stadium, opened as Lower.com Field) packs 20,371 fans into a steep, roofed bowl in Astor Park where the Nordecke supporter section shakes the whole structure.
Home of the Columbus Crew — MLS originals, three-time MLS Cup champions — the stadium’s canopy keeps the noise in and the Ohio weather out, while its plazas and the city’s skyline views make every match a festival. It has hosted the MLS Cup, U.S. national teams and the 2024 MLS All-Star Game.
The surrounding Astor Park neighborhood keeps growing around it, steps from the Arena District and Nationwide Arena.
Glory to Columbus — loudest in the league, by design.
