This has been an interesting season for the New England Revolution and the entirety of MLS. Most teams are playing without fans and the Supporters’ Shield will not be awarded. That’s why New England’s trip to Nashville is abnormal compared to prior seasons.
Nashville is one of the few MLS teams that allow fans in games. Nissan Stadium allows for 10 percent of its capacity to cheer on one of MLS’ newest clubs.
This is a big change of pace compared to how the Revolution have operated. Since the COVID-19 pandemic they have yet to have fans at Gillette Stadium and it doesn’t look like they will be there by the end of the season.
