Secant Pile Wall With Tunnel Access for Sunken Stadium
Crew SC Stadium Company hired HNTB to design the
Major League Soccer (MLS) began in 1996 as the top-flight professional
soccer league in North America. One of its 10 founding
members, the Columbus Crew, played its first game that April
at Ohio Stadium, and made history in 1999 with the opening of
Columbus Crew Stadium, the first soccer-specific stadium
nationally. When the franchise was sold in 2018 to the Haslam
Sports Group, the new investor-operator quashed relocation
plans, and announced its intent to support the team, its fans,
and the city of Columbus by building a new stadium there.
The owners struck a deal with Nationwide Realty
Investors to purchase a 21 acre (8.5 ha) brownfield parcel on
the edge of the vibrant Arena District in the northwest section
of downtown Columbus. Already home to Nationwide Arena
(hockey) and Huntington Park (baseball), the choice made
logistical sense. The city owned and provided the remaining
12 acres (4.9 ha) of the land for the stadium, which became the
anchor for Astor Park, a mixed-use development.
