So glad you’re joining us for a Crew match in the supporter’s section! When sitting in this area here are some policies you should be aware of:

  1. Be engaged. The Nordecke is, at its core, a supporter’s section. Everyone in the section is there because they want to be the loudest, most excited fans in the stadium. You are encouraged to participate in the chants and songs led by the Capos, wave a flag, and do your part to make our place intimidating for opposing teams. 
  1. No bigotry. The Nordecke, along with Major League Soccer and the Columbus Crew, know there is no place for hate in soccer. We will not tolerate any type of bigotry towards fans, staff, players or referees. Those who choose to engage in abusive, sexist, homophobic, racist, obscene or disruptive language will be subject to sanctions, including but not limited to ejection from Lower.com Field.
  1. Don’t throw things. No matter how you feel about what’s happening on the field, it’s never ok to throw your drink or anything else onto the field. We’re there to watch the game and support the team, not become a part of the drama.
  1. No violence. We’re all here for the same reason: To support the Crew. We won’t tolerate fighting of either the verbal or physical kind. If you start a fight in the Nordecke, we will kick you out and you will be subject to legal action. 
  1. Wear Crew colors. Any opposing team’s jerseys or colors will not be allowed in the Nordecke. Anyone in violation of this policy will be moved to a different seating section.

General Admission/Seating Options

The Nordecke section is General Admission and although there will be a section & seat number on your ticket you can find a spot anywhere between sections 124-130. The majority of the Nordecke is safe standing, meaning there is no place to sit. The lower half of sections 124-126 are safe standing only and the entirety of sections 127-130 are safe standing.

If you are in need of a seated option the upper rows of 124, 125, and 126 have the benches deployed for seating. If you want to sit, go up!

What to Expect

The Nordecke is full of passionate fans. Loud cheering and smoke will be used during matches. This section might not be the best for those with sensory needs or small children.
