Overview

Preseason

February

The New England Revolution started training camp in Foxboro at Gillette Stadium on Monday January 31, 2011. After two weeks of training in New England, the Revolution move camp down to Florida to begin playing games and getting ready for the 2011 MLS Season.

March

The New England Revolution opened up the 2011 MLS Season on the road with a 1–1 tie against the Los Angeles Galaxy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California on March 20. The game was played in a heavy rainstorm with difficult field conditions. Shalrie Joseph scored the first goal of the year for the club in the 3rd minute of the game to give them the early 1-0 lead, but the score was later leveled on a Juninho strike from long distance. The Revolution made their 2011 home opener at Gillette Stadium on March 26 against the D.C. United. Two early goals in that game by Zack Schilawski and Joseph gave the Revolution a 2–0 lead which they held on to until stoppage time in the second half where Charlie Davies scored on a penalty. The Revolution held on to win the game 2-1, improving their win streak in home openers to 5 games.[1]
