Re: [nas] columbus in the red

I dropped a note to Shawn Mitchell, Crew beat writer for the Columbus Dispatch, and asked him to talk to GM Mark McCullers about this. He did and they'll be a story about this in Tuesday's Dispatch and/or on his blog.

Poor management in the front office.

An ownership that will not recognize that something is seriously wrong and make the necessary changes to improve ticket & corporate sales.

IMHO, of course. Anyone from Cbus care to enlighten?

The stunner to me is how is Columbus, which owns their stadium and didn't pay a lot of money, comparatively speaking, to build it, is the team that loses the most money each year. Red Bulls, I can see, as they pay a lot of rent and get little in terms of parking and revenue, but how is it the Crew is racking up a $4.5M in losses?
