Answering this question is practically impossible. The reason is that the development of the stadium isn’t expected to be complete until the latter summer months of 2021. What you can guarantee, though, is that away fans will be warmly received by the club whilst having access to an excellent range of facilities and enjoying a decent position to watch a game of football. How can that be promised?

Well, it’s what the Columbus Crew intend to deliver for every fan stepping into the New Crew Stadium, whether they be home or away supporters.

Columbus Crew Stadium | Lower.com Field

Columbus Crew have gone to town on their new stadium design with a desire to break the perceived ‘standard’ of football stadia. Based on what has been developed and/or released so far, they are delivering.

The crowning external view comes in the south east corner as defined roof lines and overlapping panels form a cutting triangular hole offering a glimpse of the inside. This just so happens to be situated at the ‘plaza’ where you’ll also find the club shop and Crewhouse. This is the stadium pub, which is a glass-panelled cube with a terraced area for outside drinking.

This area is unquestionably the pre-match place to be for your average fan.

The Interior

Now, to the inside of the stadium. Let’s start with the die-hard Columbus Crew fans who will take their position in the North End. Here, the stand is split into two different forms: you have the ‘Nordecke’, which is an all-standing section close to the grass, and then there are the terraces.

Again, these are standing only, but positioned higher to really look over the field to generate a more hostile atmosphere. To the east, you have a two-tiered stand offering a ‘field club’ section for fans to sit level with the pitch in their own confined area, as well as being near the player tunnel. Between the two tiers, you have a row of loge boxes; these are VIP boxes where you can watch from inside or venture out to soak in the atmosphere of the crowd.

The south stand is another two-tiered area that is fully seated. The main attraction here is the large screen. Finally, you have the west stand. You’ve got field seats in front of a single tier that runs up to a split-level of premium seating and suites.

When it comes to places to eat and drink around the New Columbus Crew Stadium, your first range of options all belong on the ground. We’ve already touched on the Crewhouse pub, whilst you have a beer garden associated with the Nordecke area on the north west corner. In addition to those two, there are countless bars and eateries inside with more upmarket options available if you’re lucky enough to bag yourself a VIP suite. Of the lounges, the East Field Club is the more ‘entry level’, whilst the most eclectic of the suites is the Field Club.

With regards to outside options, you’d expect a few more restaurants and bars to pop up as the stadium edges towards completion, but even now, there are a couple of places for you to turn to. Rodizio Grill, which is located on West Boulevard Avenue, is just a 15-minute walk, whilst Nada’s Mexican and Wario’s Beef and Pork are just a few yards further. If you’re happy to push your walk to 20 to 25 minutes, then you’ll bring a couple of steakhouses into scope; Jeff Ruby’s is on 3rd Street and Ruth Chris’s is on High Street, along with other options, including Italian and American cuisine.

If it’s drinks you’re looking for, then your best bet will be the stadium or a new arrival. At the moment, the external options are somewhat limited, with the A & R Music Bar and Betty’s the only real bars. Both are around a 10-minute walk from the stadium.

At Lower.com Field, home of the Columbus Crew in Ohio, food and drink options are designed to reflect both local flavours and classic stadium fare.

Fans can enjoy a variety of items ranging from traditional hot dogs, pizza and burgers to more regionally inspired dishes such as pierogis, bratwurst and locally brewed craft beers.

Concession stands emphasise quick serving and accessibility, with vegetarian and allergy-friendly options also available.

Additionally, the stadium features bars and beverage stations offering a selection of wines, soft drinks and cocktails, catering to all age groups. The venue often incorporates seasonal specials on matchdays, creating a dynamic culinary environment that complements the energy of the game.

Much like with the away fans’ comments, it is hard to comment too heavily on transportation when nobody has done it on gameday. From what we know, the majority of people will be opting for driving to the ground. There is already substantial work taking place to make access to the stadium easier with the addition of a third lane to Nationwide Boulevard. It’s not all about getting to the ground, though – you’ll need to park too. Thankfully, within a half-mile radius, there will be over 6,000 parking spots. Of course, you’ll have parking options slightly further afield too.

If driving isn’t your thing, then you’ve also got the bus. It’s expected that stops will be added to drop off directly outside of the stadium, but even in the current structure, routes 3 and 8 stop on Neil Avenue, which means you can reach the New Columbus Crew Stadium in just 10 minutes on foot.

FC Cincinnati are the main local rival of the Columbus Crew. These teams often clash in the Real Derby, with the rivalry premised on geographic proximity in Ohio.

Matches between these teams are always highly anticipated, and while there is rarely fan animosity, the passion, tifos, and chants underscore the intense atmosphere that Real Derby generates.

Ticket prices for Columbus Crew matches at Lower.com Field in 2025 vary based on seating selection, opponent and matchday.

You can buy tickets for home matches from as low as $38 in most cases, but that can go high depending on where you sit inside the stadium and who the opposition is.

For supporters seeking premium experiences, the Columbus Crew offers season ticket memberships, which include access to all 17 home matches during the regular season. Other benefits attached to the home membership package are early ticket access, invitation to exclusive club events and premium seating locations.
