Shannon Tate has been to countless New England Revolution games.
A fan since 2010, she was there when the team secured their ticket to the MLS Cup Final in 2014 and when they won the Supporters’ Shield in 2021. Neither of these moments compare to the nervousness she felt on Mar. 5, 2022 when the Revs hosted FC Dallas.
It’s not because Bruce Arena might finally become the winningest coach in MLS history or that we would be learning the gender of Matt Turner’s child.
No, Tate was about to take over the Revs capo stand for the first time, an extra special moment because few women had done it before her.
