The matchday experience at New England Revolution games really embraces the region’s historical role in the United States’ fight for independence. The best example is the End Zone Militia, the group of Revolutionary War re-enactors who fire off their muskets after a Revs goal (as they also do when the Patriots score). But the team’s latest attempt to channel that revolution-era history fell terribly flat.
The Revs hosted Toronto FC on Sunday for their home opener, and before the opening kickoff, the club unveiled what it’s calling a new tradition. In the supporters’ section known as The Fort, former Revs midfielder Scott Caldwell threw a “tea crate” over the edge of the stands. It probably sounded like a good idea in preseason meetings, but it fell flat in practice.
