A Trip from Xenia to ScottsMiracle-Gro Field

Check the event calendar and ticketing information on the stadium’s official site before making the trip.

The venue uses mobile and digital ticketing and identifies itself as a Ticketmaster venue. Tickets are required for everyone aged 3 and older. Its ticketing page is the place to look for individual or group tickets to future Crew matches and stadium events.

The ticket office is open on event or match days, typically four hours before the event starts. Because schedules and ticket arrangements depend on the event, check the official site before you go.

ScottsMiracle-Gro Field is in downtown Columbus, so a trip from Xenia means travelling to Columbus and then following the venue’s event-specific arrival guidance. If you’re starting in town, what to know before visiting Xenia City Centre covers the local starting point.

The stadium address is 96 Columbus Crew Way, Columbus, OH 43215. Road closures and traffic plans can vary by event, and the venue provides recommended arrival and departure routes for each one. If you’re driving, use the guidance for your event rather than assuming the same approach will apply every time.

Parking is available on an event basis. Daily paid visitor parking is available through the ParkMobile and ParkColumbus apps, but surrounding lots are independently owned and operated rather than owned by the Crew or stadium.

Rideshare drop-off and pickup are on Hanover Street, just south of Nationwide Boulevard. If you’re arriving by air, how to get from Dayton International Airport to Xenia covers that leg of the trip.

For a match-day bicycle approach, a pedestrian bridge over the Olentangy River connects the Olentangy Trail to Astor Park. The venue also describes cycling access from the west or east via West Nationwide Boulevard. Free bike valet is located east of the bridge, just west of the stadium, and begins four hours before kickoff on match days.

Xenia Country Inn is a two-star inn in Xenia.

Standard gates open 1.5 hours before the posted kickoff time, and guests cannot re-enter after leaving the secured area.

The AEP Gate is at the southeast corner, the CoverMyMeds Gate at the southwest corner and the Tipico Sportsbook Gate at the northwest corner. The West Lobby is for premium access only.

Small non-clear bags under 5 × 8 × 1 inches, diaper bags and medical bags may enter after security inspection; all bags are subject to inspection.

Prohibited bags may be returned to a vehicle or left at the bag-check booth on Nationwide Boulevard south of the stadium. Tailgating is generally not permitted around the stadium, though independently operated parking lots may set their own policies.

The venue says it is ADA compliant, with accessible restrooms and ADA seating. Complimentary wheelchair escorts can be requested at entry points, but wheelchairs are not lent out.

For match-day accessible parking, it recommends the Front Street Garage for guests with approved accessible placards; its shuttle runs from four hours before first kick until one hour after the match, stopping approximately every 15 minutes.

Two sensory rooms are available: one behind Section 122 on the main concourse and another below Section 240 on the east main concourse. Sensory inclusion packs are available at the Koorsen Guest Services Center behind Section 112. Service animals assisting with accessibility are permitted; other animals, including therapy animals, are not.
