COLUMBUS IS 2-1

Need To Know

Columbus will open Lower.com Field against the same opponents it opened Crew Stadium against, New England. Columbus won that match, 2-0, on goals from Jeff Cunningham and Stern John on May 15, 1999.

Columbus closed Historic Crew Stadium with ten wins in its last 11 matches (D1), including running off three straight wins. The lone draw in that span (0-0 vs. Philadelphia on April 18) was the only time the Crew failed to score in their last 24 matches at their old home.

Despite their defeat in Dallas on Sunday, the Revolution’s 23 points through 11 games (W7 D2 L2) is the second-best start in club history, behind only 2005 when they had 25 points (W7 D4 L0) after 11 matches.
