LAFC part-owner Will Ferrell in Columbus for MLS Cup match with Crew

Los Angeles FC part-owner Will Ferrell came to Columbus to support his club's quest for the MLS Cup, rallying fans before the big game against the Crew.

While Ferrell probably didn't make the trip in Ricky Bobby's Wonder bread stock car, no doubt he was pulling for his club to come in first and not last.

Ferrell showed up Friday night at Gaswerks Bar in the Arena District to rally LAFC fans, according to reports on social media. He then took the time to interact with fans Saturday prior to the match at Lower.Com Field.

No word on whether other famous LAFC front office figures — including NBA great Magic Johnson, former soccer star Mia Hamm Garciaparra and her husband, former baseball major leaguer Nomar Garciaparra, and author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins — were in town for the game.
