Ohio manufacturing just landed on the pitch. Ohio Manufacturers’ Association member Scotts Miracle-Gro is taking over naming rights for the Columbus Crew’s stadium, giving one of MLS’s most decorated clubs a fresh, homegrown Ohio partner. It’s a big moment for a company that’s been part of the state’s manufacturing DNA for decades, and a win that blends two things Ohio does exceptionally well: making great products and winning championships.

For the Crew, it’s a natural fit with a business that knows a thing or two about building strong foundations. For Ohio manufacturers, it’s another example of industry leaders stepping onto major stages and strengthening their hometown ties.

Call it a perfect Ohio pairing: a powerhouse manufacturer and a trophy-stacking franchise teaming up in Columbus. 12/1/2025
