FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Of all the MLS cities the New England Revolution visit for road matches, Vancouver is the only one they typically can’t get to on a direct flight out of Boston or Providence.
That won’t be an issue on Thursday afternoon, however, as the Revs will board one of the Kraft family’s private jets for the cross-country voyage, turning what’s normally a grueling day of travel into a much simpler – and much more comfortable – trip to Canada.
“The comfort of the travel is not going to be an issue,” head coach Brad Friedel said about the effect of long-distance travel on newer players who haven’t experienced it before.
