Foxborough, MA - Sources with the New England Revolution say they are excited for a possible increase in overall attendance with the 12% capacity restriction that will likely be in place for their home opener on April 24th.

“If we get all 12% to show up that will set us up for a great year with regards to our attendance,” stated one source with the team. “You know that 12% of 65,878 is 7,905. We would be thrilled to have 7,905 there cheering us on. It’ll be like a full house during a normal season!”

With COVID protocols in place for almost all teams during the 2021 season, many are preparing for severely reduced crowds. However, the Revolution were excited by the prospect of 7,900 fans.

“We haven’t had a sell out for a while but we feel excited to potentially hit this mark,” stated one Revolution insider. “We’ve put the mission out to our ticket sales staff. Project 12% is a GO! It’s an attainable goal for the 2021 season.”
