Spring is in the air in New England – and on Tuesday, it wasn’t just because of the unusually mild temperatures.<\/p>\n

The Revolution will kick off their 2016 MLS campaign in Houston on Mar. 6 at 3:00pm ET, and will open their home schedule six days later on Mar. 12 against DC United with a kickoff time to be determined after the league announced the home openers of all 20 clubs on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Following their 2016 Gillette Stadium debut, the Revolution will head to Talen Energy Stadium (formerly PPL Park) to face the Philadelphia Union on Mar. 20 with a kickoff time to be determined. The remainder of the Revolution’s regular season schedule will be announced the coming weeks. <\/p>\n

The Mar. 6 regular season opener will mark the second time in three years that the Revolution will kick off their campaign at BBVA Compass Stadium. In 2014, they suffered a 4-0 loss to the Dynamo, the worst season-opening defeat in their history.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Mar. 12 match against DC will pit the Revolution against their most recent opponent, whom they dropped a 2-1 loss to in the knockout round of the Eastern Conference playoffs on Oct. 28. <\/p>\n

The Revolution have opened the season at home only once in their 21 years in MLS: 2008, when they hosted the Dynamo at Gillette Stadium only four months after meeting them in the 2007 MLS Cup final. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
