Why We’re Playing at The Fortress This Year (And Why You’re Going to Love It)!

This season, Columbus Eagles FC is doing something a little different—and a lot exciting. While our season kicks off with a high-energy doubleheader at Historic Crew Stadium alongside Crew 2, we’re proud to announce that three of our home games this year will be played at The Fortress in Obetz.

So… why the change?

The answer is simple: this is about our fans.

We’re building a bigger, bolder gameday experience—and The Fortress gives us the space and flexibility to do it right.

Imagine this:

• Pulling into the lot and parking for free.
  
  
• Grabbing a bite and a beverage before the game even begins.
  
  
• Tailgating with your crew starting two hours before kickoff.
  
  
• Cheering from a stadium that feels like it was made for moments like this.
  
  

We’ve loved every minute of playing at Historic Crew Stadium. It’s been a foundational part of our journey, and our relationship with the Crew remains strong. But as we continue to grow and look for ways to deepen our connection with the community, The Fortress gives us room to stretch—and dream even bigger.

Whether you’re a longtime season ticket holder or a first-time fan, we can’t wait for you to experience Eagles soccer in a whole new way.

🖤💛💪 The energy starts before the first whistle. Join us at The Fortress.
