Since Anthony Precourt announced he was considering moving Columbus Crew SC to Austin, Texas in mid-October, those behind the Save the Crew movement have done plenty to make sure that won’t happen.
Rallies, meetings, banners, letters, an app, nearly everything you can think of was done and created to make sure the right people are aware that there is passionate support for Crew SC in Columbus and the team should remain in its original city.
Meanwhile in Austin, Precourt Sports Venture has done what it can to drum up support for a Major League Soccer team coming to the city, including fan parties and political votes on public land for a stadium.
