Small update on the Crew-to-Austin stuff:
It's not going quite as planned.
Austin offered up 5 potential sires to Precourt and Co., then didn't hear anything back on them until a letter from Austin City Council went public about it.
PSV turned down the St. Johns/I-35 and Travis Expo Center sites, which left three: Butler Shores (the preferred choice downtown), Guerrero Metro Park, and a third site in an industrial/commercial area near The Domain.
Except now there's the possibility the two parkland sites are going to get pulled, leaving just the one offer from the city. Which PSV, who has thrown everything into Butler Shores, is apparently unprepared for.
tldr, it's an absolute shitstorm and the most vocal Austin MLS supporters on social media are now spending their days attacking #SaveTheCrew and Columbus as a whole because they think we are faking all the opposition to the stadium sites from here.
Thanks for the update, hope things work out.
Say what you want about Columbus and its fan support, stadium etc... but MLS will lose more than they think without Columbus in my opinion. Founding team.
