FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – “We’re in a fight for the playoffs, and they start now.”
Those are New England Revolution head coach Jay Heaps’ thoughts on Saturday night’s meeting with the Philadelphia Union, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Gillette Stadium. The sixth-place Revs (6-9-8, 26 pts.) and fifth-place Union (8-8-7, 31 pts.) are separated by a mere five points in the Eastern Conference standings.
Fans attending the match are encouraged to bring school supplies, which can be dropped off outside the Putnam Club, Bank of America Gate, and inside the NRG Plaza. All items will be donated to Cradles to Crayons, a nonprofit that provides children up to age 12 with essential items they need to thrive at home and school.
