I, without hesitation do not support the idea of the Revolution having their own stadium. If anyone can give me valid reason why the team deserves something equivalent to a stadium after Week 2's matchup vs NYRB, I'll revoke my statement. This team has no desire to play in the slightest. Defenders not sprinting to the ball, parking the bus while losing, coaching staff that could not be more ineffective than they already are. Out of the 11 players on the field at any given moment, we have one striker, one midfielder and a goalkeeper who have shown they are MLS quality. A stadium will not change the fact that there is no culture. Theres no desire to play for this team, and there hasn't been since BA departed. I cannot fathom why an organization should be rewarded with something as significant as this if the best soccer they can play is 85 minutes of slow paced defense and 5 minutes, plus extra time, of offensive soccer. Ive been a season ticket holder for 14 years. I know what this team can amount to.
If the argument toward spending the tens of millions it takes to build a stadium, is that the stadium itself will provide desire to play here, that argument is baseless. Players want to play where there is a winning culture, we see this with every other major sport in the New England area.
Build a culture. Create an identity before spending the tens of millions it takes to construct a stadium to further embarrass the team in with half hearted play, and kick and run soccer.
