Columbus Crew SC exploring possible relocation to Austin, TX

The owner of Columbus Crew SC is considering relocating the team to Austin, Texas, unless the city of Columbus, Ohio, can come up with a plan for a new downtown stadium.

Anthony Precourt, the CEO of Precourt Sports Ventures and the chairman of Crew SC, said he intends to explore concurrent paths towards a stadium in both markets -- a plan that has the support of Major League Soccer.

However, Precourt told ESPN FC in an exclusive interview that "we're going to need to see a dramatic change" in attendance and other factors to keep the team in Columbus.
