    That entire corner of the stadium, but for the concrete pilings that were installed around the entire site, was undeveloped until recently. It was used as the access ramp to the site. That's why foundational work on that part of the project is only being completed now. I can't imagine anything has changed from the original design.

    Is this what we are talking about or do I have it wrong?

    Hopefully a lot less after they leave a pile of money.

    I'm not much of a fisherman but the few times I've been out, I've learned to define caught as in the cooler. Had one frisky walleye that was in the boat but escaped out the scupper. Alas.

    I don't keep what I catch, so they're not caught until they're in-hand or in a net.

    The wording in the Dispatch article talks about how season tickets are still available which suggests sales are not overly strong in the sense that we aren't reaching "waiting list" levels.

    There was a zero percent chance we'd have season ticket waiting lists this year. To get there, we'd need a 50% increase over our highest ever season ticket total. That was never going to happen. Not this quickly.

    Also there is still a pandemic around. There is still a lot of uncertainty about when are you really going to be able to sit in the stadium, that has to give a lot of people pause about commiting to a season ticket

    Yeah, I think you are right but it does tell you something. Easily explained away with a variety of factors. Granted it seemed the more expensive seats have sold well so maybe there is a wave of cheaper seats that will be picked up as some of the questions get answered.

    Good point. I'd rather have the cheaper seats still available than be trying to sell the pricier ones at this stage.

    It looks like Columbus Crew has put pricing up on their page, sort of. You can see what each sections starts at (Nordecke, General, Premium) then select seats to see prices. I assume they are holding seats back. If not we are in great shape as there doesn't seem to be a ton available.

    Significant price difference between us and fc kentucky. Some minor league pricing going on down there.

    I buy fewer seats than the total in my family with a group of friends. I probably make something like 10-13 games a season. The Crew typically allow you to exchange tickets for games you don't make for (a preselected list of) other games. So for the games I miss I exchange for others so my whole family comes to 3-4...then sometimes a friend in my group will need an extra or vice versa. It's worked out pretty well the last few seasons. We're in 113 in the new stadium. Can't wait!

    I agree...but our prices were a steep steep jump from historic crew stadium. I trust the business team understood what they were doing but I'm sure some got priced out.

    I believe their strategy was to ramp up prices from their old USL level to mls level over a few years. So I'd expect a significant jump again next year. Still, FCC will have an opportunity to watch their team get beaten at home in their lovely hew stadium by better mls talent at a very reasonable price this year.

    Also notice that there's a lot of gray in their stadium map and those are the premium sections without price showing. It'll be interesting to see a suite vs suite comparison too.
