FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Home openers are always special. They bring people back together, inspire optimism, and serve as a friendly reminder that spring (and warmer weather) is on the way.
But not all home openers are created equal. Some are more memorable than others, and with the New England Revolution set to kick off their 2017 home slate on Saturday afternoon at Gillette Stadium (TICKETS), we decided to take a look back at some of the best home openers in club history.
Honorable Mention: May 11, 2002 New England Revolution 2, Dallas Burn 0
Forced to open the season with a four-game road trip while construction was completed on their new home, New England didn’t get to play in Foxborough until mid-May in 2002, but it was worth the wait.
