FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – For the past 412 days Gillette Stadium has continued to be the New England Revolution’s home venue, but it has been noticeably different. It has unquestionably been missing an integral part of what makes Foxborough so special.
The stands have been eerily quiet. Supporters haven’t sat in the seats of Gillette Stadium since last year’s home opener on March 7 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning the Revs haven’t heard the sounds of their fans cheering when they’ve scored a goal or made an incredible save, and they've also missed the beloved songs and chants that are part of the fabric of the club.
