GREEN BAY, Wis., Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jones Sports, a division of Jones Sign, collaborated with Turner Construction and HNTB to capture the owner's vision for Columbus Crew's Lower.com Field located in Columbus, Ohio.

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 and was installed by Jones Sports in spring of 2021.

"We are honored to collaborate with Turner Construction and HNTB and be part of this innovative, world-class stadium," said Todd Patrickus, Executive Vice President of Jones Sign. "We continue to leverage our expertise in premium sports venues to enhance the community experience and deliver designs that are awe inspiring."

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.

The $319.9 million stadium venue boasts 460,000 square feet, 20,000 seating capacity, and a 12-acre public plaza. For additional details visit https://www.lowerfieldcbus.com/renderings or watch The New Home of Columbus Crew video.
