The New
England Revolution (also known as the Revs) is the Major League Soccer (MLS)
franchise of Boston, Massachusetts. Owned by Robert Kraft, who also owns the
NFL franchise New England Patriots, the Revs play their home games at
Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The team moved to Gillette
Stadium with the Patriots in 2002, after Foxboro Stadium was torn down and
rebuilt in 2001-2002.
Sadly, the Revs have never won a major title. They came close twice,
reaching the US Open Cup final in 2001 and the MLS Cup final in 2002, both
times losing to Los Angeles Galaxy. Their 2002 MLS Cup appearance won 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.
