The Revs won their first title ever with a US Open Cup victory in 2007. |
While no numbers were officially released, the New England organizers evidently did well enough convince the MLS brass that the region should host one of the founding teams, and the New England Revolution were born.
While the team struggled on the field through its early years, it was a huge success off the field, posting some of MLS's most impressive attendance numbers in the first few seasons.
Ironically, that situation has been reversed in recent years as coach Steve Nicol's team has become one of the top teams in the league, while posting some disappointing attendance numbers ever since they moved into their new digs at Gillette Stadium in 2002.
Owned by Robert Kraft, who also owns the New England Patriots of the NFL, the Revs have often suffered from being perceived as a red-headed step child in the Kraft sports empire. But Karft has stuck by the team and given its coaching staff room and time enough to build one of the most consistently successful teams in the league's history.
However, failure to actually win the MLS Cup will always haunt the team that has finished second four times in the last six years, inclduing three straight defeats in the MLS title game, two in a row to Houston. Still, the club did get one hex of its back, winning its first title ever after taking the US Open Cup in 2007.
In this part of the site, we'll cover all the day-to-day happenings of the Revs and MLS. We'll take a look at the history of the teams and offer insights ito the premier soccer league in the US.
