The Crew Fan Council fully supports the fan led efforts to #SaveTheCaps. We exist as a fan council in part due to the historic efforts of the #SaveTheCrew movement. We encourage MLS fans to rally behind these efforts and fight the “business metrics” narrative. Vancouver deserves to Save the Caps!
Congrats @rolemodel83.bsky.social for winning a ticket to tomorrow’s game!!
Ha! We have no budget to cut 😂. We give out tickets when we get our hands on them. They are just donated from volunteers on the council. We do have two to give out - one here and one on X. Thanks for following.
In honor of our captain Sean Gregory Zawadski’s birthday, the Crew Fan Council is giving you a gift! Tag a friend in the replies and one fan will win a ticket to tomorrow night’s game against the LA Galaxy!
Come see the Crew Fan Council on the Plaza! Open now. We have supplies to make signs, a couple giveaways and more! Also, we have a couple FREE tickets for anyone who comments that they need them tonight! (One in Nordecke and one in 239)
*There are other players older than 30, but none who would have been rooting for the Crew at the time.
Only one current Crew player was alive 30 years ago and rooting for the yellow soccer team: Evan Bush.
On April 13, 1996, a 10-year-old Evan Bush was among the thousands of fans across the state and in the Shoe rooting for the Crew as they shut out DC United 4-0.

Where were you 30 yrs ago? When we take the field at our next home game, April 12th, it will be nearly 30 years to the day since the Columbus Crew played their first game ever. In a 4-0 rout of DC United, Brian McBride had two goals and an assist. The ball never touched the ground for the 2nd goal.

Congrats to @unclealigator.bsky.social for winning today’s giveaway! See you at the game 🖤💛
Pi day (3.14) Columbus Crew lore. The only Pi day that the Crew played a match was at home against Toronto in 2015 (which is the actual Pi sequence through the two digit year: 3.1415).
The Crew won that game 2-0 (Meram/Kamara). Another fun fact: Pipa starts with Pi.

One takeaway from our Front Office meeting was that they are fully aware of the seeming inability to keep ice in stock on game days. She said, “It’s crazy. How hard is ice to get right?” They brought in a third party consultant to analyze the ice situation. This is not satire.
BREAKING NEWS:
“We're pleased to tell you we determined you're exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3).”
The Columbus Crew Fan Council is officially a 501c3 nonprofit! It took more than a year and plenty of work by our Treasurer, Zo!
Thanks Jason for the suggestion. It is on our list to discuss this year. We worked with Nordecke to pressure the FO last year and did get a compromise on heat advisory days to allow one bottle of water per person in the stadium. It is a Haslam Sports Group decision (the Browns are similar).
The Crew Fan Council is meeting with the front office later today to meet the new FO contact and make a plan for how we will engage/support fan priorities throughout the year.
What are your concerns you want the Fan Council to highlight? (Cost, fan experience, community, etc.)
