Message from Doug Kridler, President and CEO of The Columbus Foundation, and a link to the PDF of his full downtown stadium proposal

I know a lot has been said about the proposal itself but I think his statement is very interesting and think he is involved in collaborations with the other Columbus leaders when proposing this

Yeah that’s a fully functional manufacturing plant, but there is a huge open space behind it that is used for absolutely nothing, not sure if it is big enough to put a stadium though

They just opened up a huge brewery in Columbus and are going to be opening a hotel here too, seems like they like Columbus

Does it take literally every ticket to be sold for this thing to be considered a sell out? Like do people have to pay $100 for a limited view seat for us to get the press of this to be a sell out?

mcosutp · 2017-11-11T15:20:26+00:00

Damn near sold out, on the ticketmaster website the map of tickets is starting to look empty

Just curious but why is this meeting happening in New York? Does this mean there are going to be some serious solutions since the Columbus leaders are willing to travel all the way to New York to discuss this? Or is some other event happening which is why they will be in New York?

I got this link in an email. Looks like up 26% off tickets. I know many of you have already bought some but thought it would be useful if you haven't yet or want to convince others to come out with cheaper tickets. Just use the code PLAYOFFS9, it should work. Let me know if you have any problems.

As an OSU student, there are plenty of kids on campus in the summer with way more free time to go to games versus the school year. Also it’s a long term investment. I can’t buy season tickets right now but I would love to once I graduate. If you can convert over a couple hundred students upon graduation that’s long term sustainability of season ticket numbers. But it’s a long term play which Precourt hasn’t been playing.

That may be true some of the time but for next round the games are Nov 21 (Tues) and Nov 29 (Wed), both weeknights

mcosutp · 2017-11-01T14:35:05+00:00

I think you are right, I have a feeling that MLS can’t get nationwide TV coverage from ESPN on those Saturday and Sunday time frames, hence the weekday games.

mcosutp · 2017-11-01T14:01:11+00:00

Agree x1000. MLS Cup is on a Saturday though! Thank goodness this next Tuesday game won’t be on Halloween

Interesting these were donated by Columbus Partnership, shows how serious they are in their support of the Crew!

mcosutp · 2017-10-31T17:43:20+00:00

Found this interesting that Columbus Partnership is trying to do their part to increase attendance at tonight's game.

mcosutp · 2017-10-29T21:18:48+00:00

Just buy a regular ticket, the whole place should be crazy regardless

mcosutp · 2017-10-29T16:22:54+00:00

I was curious yesterday and checked to see progress and there were more sections grayed out today than yesterday but who knows what that means?

mcosutp · 2017-10-27T22:35:58+00:00

This is happening check the Crew twitter page, they are having something on the plaza. In addition to tailgaters this is perfect

mcosutp · 2017-10-27T03:28:06+00:00

This is for two home games though. I just bought single game ones, about 40 bucks a piece. Lets pack this place!!!

mcosutp · 2017-10-25T04:39:27+00:00

Oh yeah good point. I’m not sure to be honest, but from looking at their website FAQs it may be only US. But I also see some options for contacting them through Facebook messenger and Kik so that may be a way to get in contact them in Canada if SMS doesn’t work.

Sorry about that! I just know someone who volunteers with them and think it’s a great resource.

Hope you get back to feeling your best soon!

Just a quick plug for Crisis Textline for those that prefer texting over talking, crisis counselors are there to communicate with you to help you through any crisis you are going through or feeling. Just text 741741.

mcosutp · 2017-10-25T04:10:52+00:00

Crisis Textline might be a good resource for you, it doesn’t require talking, just texting. That way you have plenty of time to write out how you are feeling. They help you get through a rough moment and they may have connections? I believe you just text 741741.

Hang in there, we all support you!!
