COLUMBUS – Columbus Crew SC is set to host Alumni Night at MAPFRE Stadium on Saturday, August 31 surrounding its regular-season home match against the Chicago Fire. Alumni Night will feature former Crew SC players in attendance participating in pre-match autograph opportunities, as well as in a halftime ceremony. Saturday’s Alumni Night event is set to feature Mike Clark, Jeff Cunningham, John Harkes, Alejandro Moreno and Duncan Oughton among other former Crew SC players.
“Crew SC alumni are a critical part of the community and the Black & Gold family.
