“The start of a new season is always exciting, and we’re thrilled to be able to open our 25th season at home,” said Crew SC President and General Manager Tim Bezbatchenko. “Our entire technical staff has been hard at work during the offseason putting together a team that is able to contend for championships and will continue to do so as we close in on our Opening Match. We look forward to seeing all of our supporters filling the stands at MAPFRE Stadium on March 1 in what will be our last full season in this location.”
The Crew is slated to open its 2020 campaign against New York City FC for the first time in Club history. Additionally, the match marks only the fourth time in 12 years that Crew SC has opened its campaign with a match at MAPFRE Stadium.
