Caleb Porter isn’t concerned with the Crew’s unique 2020 away record

In 25 seasons of awarding an MLS Cup champion, the Columbus Crew is in a category all its own. Not only did the Black & Gold have the largest margin of victory in a championship game, defeating the Seattle Sounders 3-0 last December, but they also have a less popular claim to fame. The Crew was the first MLS Cup winner to lift the trophy, or even make it to the MLS Cup Final, without a single away win in the regular season.
