Astor Park eat your heart out. And it didn't cost us >$200M in public funding.

Astor Park near downtown Columbus for those who didn't get the reference to the partially publicly funded development that was integral to the Columbus Crew's stadium deal. Pretty meh for something so close to their downtown. The large wooded area just past the stadium doesn't exist - the rendering is hiding industrial lots and surface parking.
The stadium itself is nice, though apparently not nice enough. The Crew's first two matches had announced attendances of 18,939 and 16,116 (out of a stated capacity of 20,371). Season tickets there are still very much available, btw
