Will Newark Get The Columbus Crew Training Facility?

Newark, Ohio is one of several finalists to build & host the new training facility for the Columbus Crew professional soccer team. Read more about this endeavor in a May 2007 Columbus Crew press release. The current Crew training facility is located in Obetz, but the team is looking at several Columbus, Ohio area options.

Newark is probably the furthest option of all those being considered, however it may have the best location of all. The current NASA complex has plenty of room for the 15+ fields the facility would require. The site would quickly become a magnet for top-notch tournaments, and could offer Newark, Granville and Heath-area players one of the finest soccer facilities in the nation– right in our own backyard.
