Columbus Crew forward Josef Martinez scores early in the first half against Orlando SC Wednesday night. The Crew went on to defeat the purple Lions 2-1 in a U.S. Open Cup semifinal at Fertilizer Field. You may note the empty seats. The game summary does not list an official attendance figure. The face value for tickets in the cheaper seats (upper and lower bowls) ranged from $24 to $63. Premium seating ranged from $104 to $290. That was a tough sell for a midweek "extra" game for a Crew team that had won just once in its previous nine games in all competitions. Photo by Mookie Wilson.
