Lower.com Field

Jones Sports was hired to design-engineer, fabricate and install a custom architectural façade canopy that would maximize natural light and mimic the team’s Crew crest emblem. The shape of the panels and patterns formed by the perforated holes in the architectural façade panels reflect features in the crest. The massive, state-of-the-art façade comprises 51,858 square feet of perforated aluminum panels. The  stadium venue boasts 460,000 square feet, 20,000 seating capacity, and a 12-acre public plaza.

‍

An important component of the design was that the field façade be black to reinforce the club colors and make it distinct from what is traditionally a white feature. This celebrates innovation and diversity and reflects the city of Columbus as an inclusive community. Lower.com Field is purposefully designed to be inviting and dynamic - embodying the diversity and spirit that make Columbus home.
