After the disappointment that was 2016, fans, players and coaches alike cannot wait for the start of the new Columbus Crew SC seasons.
There have been changes galore in order to get this team back to the expectations of the first two years of the Gregg Berhalter era and Saturday afternoon marks the first time we get to see the new-look Black & Gold in real action.
The Chicago Fire come to MAPFRE Stadium to kick off the new year. Like Columbus, the Fire have made a number of moves in order to improve on the last place finish so this opening game should be interesting for both fanbases.
