Crew move July 3 kick-off against Nashville SC before Red, White & BOOM!
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Columbus Crew fans looking to celebrate the Fourth of July at Lower.com Field will have to make a slight scheduling adjustment.
The Crew announced its July 3 game against Nashville SC will now kick-off at 6:30 p.m., one hour earlier than the original kick-off time of 7:30 p.m. The adjustment was made to accommodate the central Ohio community gathering in Downtown Columbus that night for holiday festivities, including Red, White & BOOM!, the largest fireworks show in the Midwest.
