Revolution Visit Giants Stadium for Final Time
September 15, 2009 - Major League Soccer (MLS) - New England Revolution News Release
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - With just seven games remaining in the regular season and the race for the MLS Cup Playoffs tightening each week, the New England Revolution will return to the road to visit the New York Red Bulls in a critical showdown on Friday, Sept. 18, at Giants Stadium. The game will be televised live on TV38 beginning at 7:30 p.m., while the WEEI Radio Network will have the call on the radio.
The Revolution (9-8-6, 33 pts.) will be aiming to snap a brief two-game losing streak after dropping back-to-back games to the Kansas City Wizards and Chivas USA, while the Red Bulls (4-17-4, 16 pts.) saw their two-game winning streak come to an end with a loss to the Wizards last weekend. With the loss, the Red Bulls were officially eliminated from contention for a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
New England has a chance to make history on Friday night, as the club looks to extend its unbeaten run against New York to a league-record 13 games. The Revs are 7-0-5 in their last 12 regular-season meetings with the Red Bulls, which matches the longest unbeaten run by any MLS team against a single opponent.
Additionally, Friday's match will mark the Revolution's last-ever visit to Giants Stadium, the venue which New York has called home since the league's inaugural season in 1996. The Red Bulls are scheduled to move into Red Bull Arena - a state-of-the-art facility located in Harrison, N.J. - for the start of the 2010 campaign.
