Reports are that the team's Columbus stadium lease has an out only for Austin.

It's also reported that cities other than Austin are only being looked at as a backup in case the team owner doesn't get a deal to his liking in Austin. But if you want to be cynical: The Crew owner isn't going to finalize his plans until sometime next year, after MLS has announced which cities will get expansion teams, so this owner could possibly make Austin bid against other cities that want MLS but didn't get an expansion team.
