New England Revolution History

Until their 3–2 victory over FC Dallas in the 2007 US Open Cup, the Revs had never won a major American trophy in their thirteen-year history. They were one of three teams in MLS that date back further than 2005 to have not won one of the three major titles in American soccer (MLS Cup, US Open Cup, and the MLS Supporter's Shield). They came close five times, reaching the US Open Cup final in 2001 and the MLS Cup finals in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007; coincidentally losing their US Open Cup final, and the MLS Cup in 2002 and 2005, to the Los Angeles Galaxy, and losing the MLS Cup in 2006 and 2007, to the Galaxy's former rival, the relocated Houston Dynamo.
Another Boston sports tradition in April is the annual Patriots Day running of the Boston Marathon. Upward of 500,00 spectators line the 26 mile course from Hopkinton to Boston. More than 15,000 runners from all over the world come to Boston for the biggest prize money in road racing.
Their 2002 MLS Cup appearance granted them a spot in the 2003 CONCACAF Champions Cup, but lost their first matchup 5:3 on aggregate after playing two games on the road to LD Alajuelense. The Revolution again faced LD Alajuelense of Costa Rica in the home and away 2006 CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The "home" game was played February 22, 2006, in Bermuda despite some fans feeling that playing at Gillette Stadium in the adverse conditions of winter in New England could have been advantageous. The Revs failed to advance, as they drew 0–0 in Bermuda and lost 0–1 in Costa Rica.
An October tradition since 1965, the Head Of The Charles Regatta brings more than 7,000 international rowers to the banks of the Charles River. The two-day regatta, the world largest, draws more than 300,000 spectators to watch the 21 different events.
New England had the chance to win their first MLS championship, in MLS Cup 2006, against the Houston Dynamo, but ultimately suffered the same fate as their two previous attempts in 2002 and 2005; the Revs, after Taylor Twellman scored in the second overtime, allowed a game-tying header, from Dynamo Brian Ching, that sent the game to penalty kicks, where New England lost, 4–3. The 2007 MLS Cup was a rematch from the previous year, though the result was the same as Houston defeated New England 2–1. It was New England's fourth loss in the MLS Cup in a six year span.[2]
In a region renown for its seasons, Boston sports is hot all seasons. Be it college, pro, or high school, the local teams are steeped in tradition. The drama, excitement, and pleasure Bostonians derive from the celebration of sports has been a great contribution to the pride and spirit of the city.
