Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Buildings the Crew have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names a former stadium or an earlier naming-rights label.
- Previous home: Columbus Crew Stadium (1999–2015), renamed MAPFRE Stadium (2015–2020)
- Current home: ScottsMiracle-Gro Field (2021–present)
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1999, when Columbus Crew Stadium opened as the first soccer-specific stadium built by an MLS club.
Earlier names for these buildings: tickets that say Columbus Crew Stadium refer to Historic Crew Stadium, and tickets that say Lower.com Field refer to Scotts Miracle-Gro Field.
Buildings Columbus Crew have called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket names the venue differently.
Columbus Crew play home matches at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, OH, USA. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The stadium venue names above are what Ticket Timeline uses when an old ticket shows a different building name from decades past.
Rebuild your Crew history
Dating a Columbus Crew ticket requires attention to stadium names: stubs from 1999–2015 say Columbus Crew Stadium, 2015–2020 stubs say MAPFRE Stadium (the result of a naming-rights deal), and 2021–present stubs say ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. Rebuilding Crew attendance is usually a scavenger hunt: paper tickets and PDF confirmations, camera-roll scoreboard dates, calendar invites, season-ticket statements, and memory anchors (companions, rivals, life events, stadium names on stubs). Work season by season; a partial list of attended matches is enough to start matching opponents and stadiums. When confirmations live in Gmail, import games you've attended walks through a read-only preview before anything is committed. For a shoebox of stubs, see what to do with old ticket stubs.
- Old paper tickets and digital PDFs
- Email receipts and order confirmations
- Camera-roll photos with visible dates or scoreboards
- Calendar entries and season-ticket records
- Memory anchors: opponents, companions, venues, life events
- Columbus Crew Stadium nights (1999–2015)—the original home
- MAPFRE Stadium nights (2015–2020)—the renamed venue
- ScottsMiracle-Gro Field nights (2021–present)—the current home
