After its home WPSL opener on May 12, Columbus Eagles FC are now offering a free bus ride to and from Columbus Crew SC’s home match that night. Eagles membership holders and anyone with a single-match ticket for the Eagles match on May 12 can ride the bus, which will start at Otterbein University’s Memorial Stadium between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m. and return after the Crew match finishes. The Crew faces Chicago Fire at MAPFRE Stadium on May 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Parking is free at Otterbein in the main stadium lot, so fans can park to watch the Eagles match and then leave their cars there until the bus returns after the Crew’s match. Fans can expect to arrive at MAPFRE Stadium approximately two hours before kickoff and will return to Otterbein University as traffic permits after the Crew’s match ends.

The Eagles have partnered with VAT Inc. – a fellow business ally of the “Save The Crew” movement – to offer the buses for Columbus soccer fans. More details about the bus will be released in coming days on the club’s website and social media platforms.
