Come visit me and fuck in Austin instead.
People will want pics and salacious details. Promise me you'll provide them.

The corporations in Columbus couldn’t care less. Nationwide funded our relatively shitty NHL franchise and I don’t know who funded our relatively shitty minor-league baseball stadium downtown, but The Crew’s fans have heart in the face of their relatively constant relatively shitty situations.
Your Clippers are now the Triple-A affiliate for the Cleveland Indians who now play downtown near the Arena, where your relatively shitty NHL franchise did better than the Chicago Blackhawks and other established franchises.
That said, the Crew's current investor-operator is upset because the Clippers got a snazzy new venue, and their team didn't. The owner wanted a new stadium, and the City wanted a commitment. Both met in late 2017, and left with nothing. And that lawsuit has already been filed not only by the City, but by the State of Ohio, thanks to our friendly, neighborhood gremlin, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, and a law that was passed after Art Modell's move.
