One
of the premier football/soccer stadiums in the world, Gillette Stadium opened its doors on May 11th, 2002 with a regular season Major League Soccer match between the Revolution and the Dallas Burn. Eight days later, it hosted
it's first ever international soccer match as the U.S. Men's National Team faced
Holland.
The former home of the Revolution and of the Super Bowl Champion New England
Patriots was Foxboro Stadium, built by former Patriots owner Billy Sullivan in 1972 for a mere $6
million. While it provided a home for both the Patriots and Revolution and
provided fans with good views of the action in most cases, it lacked many of amenities of modern
stadiums. While New England sports fans appreciated the facility's intimate
atmosphere, they proved to be far less receptive to its lack of bathrooms,
concession stands and the actual metal bleacher seats themselves. Despite hosting numerous great moments in US Soccer and Patriots football history, it was often referred to as a glorified high school stadium.
No such reference will be made to Gillette Stadium, however.
The new crown jewel in the Kraft Sports Empire has 9,000 more seats, twice as many bathrooms, and three times as many concession stands as its predecessor.
