It looks like the Brad Friedel era has brought an end to Fortress Foxboro.
Historically speaking, the New England Revolution have been strong while playing at Gillette Stadium. In 2015, their home record was 9-2-6 and they were 9-4-4 in 2016. Despite only collecting one away victory in 2017, the Revs were an impressive 12-2-3 when in front of their fans.
This trend changed when Brad Friedel took the helm. With the former netminder roaming the sidelines, the Revolution are 9-7-5 at home. This year the team is 1-3-0.
It’s a frustrating statistic for the Revolution, as the formula for making the MLS playoffs has long revolved around winning home games and grabbing a few positive results on the road.
