Real Salt Lake hosts the New England Revolution on Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium. Here are three things to know about the Revs.
An MLS Original
New England was one of the 10 original clubs in MLS when the league kicked off in 1996. A five-time MLS Cup finalist, New England is still looking for its first MLS Cup or Supporters’ Shield. However, the trophy case isn’t entirely bare. The Revs did win the 2007 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2008 North American SuperLiga.
Coached by a Local Legend
New England is helmed by Jay Heaps, who spent nine seasons with the Revs as a player before announcing his retirement in 2009.
