Football club based in
Columbus, Ohio that participates in
Major League Soccer . The club was owned by
Lamar Hunt , who also owned the
Kansas City Chiefs and
FC Dallas until his 2006 death, upon which his son,
Clark , took over his sports properties. The Crew currently play their home games at
Columbus Crew Stadium , the first MLS
Soccer-specific Stadium . From 1996–1999, the Crew played their home games at
Ohio Stadium on the campus of
Ohio State University . The name "The Crew" is the result of a local fan contest and refers to Columbus'
Blue Collar community. The team colors are black and gold. The team mascot is Crew Cat.
The Crew has won one tournament to date, the 2002
Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup , defeating the 2002
MLS Cup and Supporter's Shield winner
Los Angeles Galaxy 1–0. The club has reached one other final, the 1998 Open Cup, which was postponed due to a hurricane and controversially relocated from
Virginia Beach to
Soldier Field , the home of the
Chicago Fire , who won the match in overtime 2–1. That is not the only championship the team has won, as they also won the 2004 Supporter's Shield for having the best record over the course of the regular season.
