The stadium under construction, March 2021

Construction on the new stadium was originally scheduled to begin in the summer of 2019, but after delays,[6] groundbreaking was later rescheduled to October 10, 2019.[3] Upon completion of the stadium, Historic Crew Stadium was redeveloped into the training center of Columbus Crew.[7]

The first game in the facility was on July 3, 2021, and resulted in a 2–2 draw between the Crew and the New England Revolution. Parts of the stadium were still under construction at the time.[5][8] The first goal in stadium history was scored by Tajon Buchanan of New England; Columbus' first goal was scored by Gyasi Zardes during the same match.[9] The Crew earned their first win at the new stadium with a 2–1 victory over New York City FC on July 17, 2021.[10]

ScottsMiracle-Gro Field is owned by the Confluence Community Authority (CCA), a special district governed by the City of Columbus and Franklin County. The Crew have a 30-year lease with the CCA with an annual rent of $10 and an option to purchase the stadium outright in 2047 for 30 percent of its market value.[11]

Naming rights for the facility are held by Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, based in Marysville, Ohio, through an agreement announced on November 25, 2025. The stadium was renamed to ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on the same date.[12] For its first five seasons, the facility was known as Lower.com Field through a naming rights deal with Columbus-based online mortgage lender Lower.com. The agreement with Lower.com was announced June 15, 2021, just prior to the stadium's opening.[13]
