Columbus Crew history
Columbus was there from the start. Founded in 1994, the Crew took the field in 1996 as one of 10 charter clubs in MLS. The first three seasons were played at Ohio Stadium on the Ohio State campus. From 1999 to 2021 home was Historic Crew Stadium, the first stadium built just for soccer for an MLS team, with 19,968 seats as of 2015.
The trophy count is long for a club of its age: MLS Cups in 2008, 2020 and 2023, Supporters' Shields in 2004, 2008 and 2009, plus a U.S. Open Cup (2002) and a Leagues Cup (2024). In 2021 the Crew won their first continental prize, the Campeones Cup, and in 2024 they reached their first Champions Cup final. The Haslam family, who also own the Cleveland Browns, lead the ownership group with former team physician Pete Edwards.
