So we play at LA Galaxy on June 1, and then nothing until the 26 when we're home to Philly? Well, I guess there's no excuse for not playing the first team in the Open Cup, assuming that the first game will fall somewhere in that window.
With 24 teams, we now get a "balanced" schedule, meaning one game against each of the 12 Western Conference Teams, and home-and-away with the other 11 teams in the Eastern Conference.
Some comments re: Revs schedule from Twitter - 15 games before Memorial Day is not a promising development for a team that traditionally likes to wait until Secondary Transfer Window to do their shopping. #NERevs— Mike Marshall (@chr31ter) January 7, 2019 1082392040065957888 is not a valid tweet id 3 Wednesday night home matches? Ugh. #NERevs https://t.co/ktOk0JFXEm— Chris Aldrich (@aldy04) January 7, 2019 Not going out on that big of a limb, but two national TV games for #NERevs in 2019 (at DC July 12 on ESPN, and at NYCFU on Saturday, Sept. 7 on Univision) probably among the low end compared to the rest of the league. To the surprise of no one.— Jake Catanese (@JCatanese43) January 7, 2019 Hopefully the end of the schedule is incentive to finish with as many points as we can before late September. Midweek away game to the 2018 runners-up and away to the defending champions to close the season... yikes! #NERevs— Christopher Brown (@cbrown4747) January 7, 2019
A few more - Anyone see Bob Kraft's team anywhere? #NERevs https://t.co/fDxQlI63fr— WeberDunKing (@WeberKing) January 7, 2019 #NERevs play six games in a 21-day stretch from April 20 to May 11. Brutal.Good news is the farthest they have to go in that stretch is Kansas City. Not so brutal.— Julian Cardillo (@JulianCardillo) January 7, 2019 First question. June 1st to 26th off? Why? #NErevs— MSP (@Revolutionteach) January 7, 2019
3 home games in March. first 12 games evenly split home/away. @Dallas not midsummer. @Colorado midsummer 25 day break in prime June weather. Wednesday night game in April - will they provide umbrellas? West coast trip to LAGals for opener - plenty of time to travel Mid-season west coast trip to Portland on 4 days rest
Another observation Just noticed that the #NERevs home game on 9/29 is when Rosh Hashanah starts. 5:00 pm kickoff.Who was the genius that planned this one? Not that the Krafts would be there anyways.Great planning there, @MLS.— WeberDunKing (@WeberKing) January 8, 2019
Interesting take on the schedule's impact to the value of Revs' season ticket package over recent years. @RevsPrez should really speak to @MLS about scheduling issues. #NERevs STM's are losing value in their tix every season. 3 mid week home games none in the summer. Condensing the sched and adding teams will never fair well for your supporters in the North East/NE.— low eyed, fly guy (@WillD_Jackson) January 8, 2019
Yikes, this is definitely a concern So brutal but true This is an important point - the Revs end the season with some hard games.
25 days off in June? looks like Brad and Mike asked the soccer gods for time off to start the summer to break that summer swoon that happens around that time every year!
I'm not all that thrilled with 6 homes games in March and April, which ... well, we're New Englanders, so we know what the weather's like up here. The last four games are a brutal stretch. This team's playoff hopes could be decided by the June break sadly. Because if they're going into those last four games needing points, we're most likely in a lot of trouble. Once again, 0 home games on National TV. The league basically considers us an embarrassment. And no one in the Revs FO, especially not the owners, give $0.02.
Its a fifa window and also the early stages of the gold cup/copa america. I know MLS doesnt care about FIFA windows, bit thats the only thing I can think of
The entire league is off from Jun 9 to 21. Week 15 (Jun 5-8) only 10 of the 24 teams are playing Week 16 (Jun 22-23) only 12 of the 24 teams are playing If I am counting right, there are only 31 weeks in the regular season. There were 35 last year.
Here's NERevs analysis of their own schedule - https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/po...tes-revolution-s-2019-regular-season-schedule
#NERevs with the second highest percentage of Saturday games this season in all of #MLS. Not bad. https://t.co/Ig8xLnCdOL— Sean Donahue (@SeanLDonahue) January 8, 2019
Makes sense when you look at the list of teams with mostly Saturday night games. All struggling at the gate. Most of the others, where they generally know people are going to show up no matter what ... they've got the schedules that are more open.
