Columbus Crew owner Anthony Precourt is set to move team to Austin, Texas, in 2019 if downtown stadium can't happen in Columbus. Story soon.
Hope not. Columbus is a great USMNT venue.

It's actually a pretty shitty venue out in the middle of nothing in Columbus.

Austin would be great for MLS, but I'm sure this is just a leverage thing.

Expect more of these in Austin

Deal is already done. Local business men have tried to buy the team from him so he wouldn't move but he wasn't having it. He has a playoff ready team to move to Austin instead of an expansion team. Plus Austin wasn't even being looked at for expansion. Austin Athletic and Austin FC has already been registered. They will play their first season at UT. News comes out two weeks after season ticket renewals. Columbus was the original MLS team. This is bad for MLS. Can't take a league seriously when you up and move. This doesn't happen in other leagues across the world. I'm sure FC Cincy will join MLS now but fans in Cbus won't support them. Their was already a pretty nasty rivalry between the two clubs.

Why Austin instead of a city with a fanbase that actually cares about soccer?

So this is what the meetings were about
Don’t we love our franchise system, so much for the people saying we need to love our American system and MLS is great for stability.
One of the OG MLS members with the first SSS in an area that is big into soccer potential moving. What a fricking joke owners need to pay for their own stadiums. This one isn’t even 20 years old.

ATX deserves a big boy pro team, and the soccer culture there is very strong

Ahh the old buy a team and pretend to try and make it work while you secretly look for new locations to move it to gambit.
If Toyota Stadium hadn't become the location for the National Soccer Hall of Fame I would fully expect the Hunt's to try this shite with FCD. I've lived in Dallas since 2008 and can count on one hand the amount of billboards and ads I've seen/heard for FCD matches. Even worse, most of them were when Brek Shea was still on the team.
