Sunday is also the final day of the 2018 Quarter Horse Congress at the Ohio Expo Center.

MAPFRE Stadium gates open at 3 p.m. ET.
En route to the venue, Crew SC supporters may see signage reflecting a $25 general parking fee for Ohio Expo Center parking lots attributable to Quarter Horse Congress operations.
