Pack your patience if you’re headed to the game this Saturday. In addition to the Crew game starting at 6, Columbus Marathon road closures start Friday.
They’re being extra vague this year on timings and specific closures, but ABC did share: “Long Street will close between Hocking Street and Neil Avenue at 9 a.m. [Friday] and remain shut through Sunday evening, with limited access allowed Saturday for Blue Jackets and Crew fans. Additional closures on Spring, West, and Hanover streets begin late Friday night.”
May the odds be ever in your favor.

Edit: Of course right after posting I see NBC has a more comprehensive breakdown:

“Friday, October 17
9 a.m.: Long St. closes, Hocking St. to Neil Ave., remains closed until 6 p.m. Sunday. (except 5-7 p.m. Saturday for Blue Jackets and Columbus Crew fan arrivals)”
