The Austin City Council has approved a stadium deal for the Columbus Crew by a margin of 7-4.

Precourt Sports Ventures has been attempting to move to Austin for nearly a year.

Austin is the largest city in the United States without a professional sports franchise.

"I can't wait until we are all wearing the same jersey celebrating the first championship of Austin," said Mayor Steve Adler.

“We’re bringing Major League Soccer to Austin,” said Crew owner Anthony Precourt.
