Why Columbus Crew took part in altitude training ahead of Champions Cup final in Pachuca

As the Crew vie for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, a title that only one MLS team has won since the modern iteration of the tournament was created in 2009, they will be doing so nearly 8,000 feet above sea level.

Estadio Hidalgo, the home of the Crew's upcoming opponents CF Pachuca in Pachuca, Mexico, sits at an altitude of 7,843 feet.
