New England Revolution

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:MLS team The New England Revolution, nicknamed the Revs, is a soccer club based in Foxborough, Massachusetts that participates in Major League Soccer. Even though the club is based in Foxborough, the club represents all of New England, including the cities of Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island. The club is owned by Robert Kraft, who also owns the New England Patriots of the NFL.

The Revs currently play their home matches at Gillette Stadium. The club played their home games at the adjacent and now-demolished Foxboro Stadium, during the 1996 through 2001 seasons. Foxboro Stadium was formerly called both Schaefer Stadium and Sullivan Stadium. The Revs hold the distinction of being the only MLS team to have every game in its history televised [1].

History

The Revs have never won a major title. They came close three times, reaching the US Open Cup final in 2001 and the MLS Cup finals in both 2002 and 2005, coincidentally losing all three to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Their 2002 MLS Cup appearance granted them a spot in the 2003 CONCACAF Champions Cup, but lost their first matchup 5:3 on aggregate after playing two games on the road to LD Alajuelense. The Revolution again faced LD Alajuelense of Costa Rica in the home and away 2006 CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The "home" game was played February 22, 2006 in Bermuda despite some fans feeling that playing at Gillette Stadium in the adverse conditons of winter in New England could have been advantageous. The Revs failed to advance, as they drew 0-0 in Bermuda and lost 0-1 in Costa Rica.
