A year ago, while attempting to preview Columbus Crew SC’s 2018 season, we couldn’t help but question if it would be the last time we would do so with the Black & Gold potentially moving to Austin, Texas. A year later, the Crew remains in Columbus under new ownership and the excitement around the city for this team is palpable.
The Black & Gold hopes to build on a season where the team finished fifth in the Eastern Conference and advanced to the conference semifinals before losing 3-1 on aggregate to the New York Red Bulls.
