COLUMBUS, Ohio (KXAN) — After months of negotiations and a possibility of moving to Austin, the Columbus Crew Major League Soccer Team will stay in Ohio. However, Austin will still have an MLS team of its own.

The Haslam family, which also owns the Cleveland Browns, and the Edwards family in Columbus reached an agreement to become the Columbus Crew’s owners and take over operations in January from Precourt Sports Ventures. A lawsuit that was filed to keep the Columbus Crew in Ohio instead of moving to Texas will also be dropped in the wake of the announcement.

“Throughout our conversations, it’s been overwhelmingly clear that Crew SC belongs in Columbus,” the families said in a joint statement, adding that the community and fan’s efforts to keep the team did not go unnoticed.

Both Austin and Columbus will each have their own new soccer stadium as well. The Austin City Council signed an agreement with Precourt Sports Ventures Dec. 19 to build a $225 million stadium in north Austin. One day later, Ohio and Columbus officials approved a public-private partnership to construct a new stadium downtown.
