The day is here!

It’s finally arrived! We can’t believe it’s been 132 days since the Revs walked off the field (victorious) in Montréal last fall, ending the 2012 season. It may have felt like an eternity to you – or maybe it feels like it was just yesterday? – but either way, the day we’ve been waiting for since October 27th, or even before (since the playoff race was decided), is finally here: in just a matter of hours, the New England Revolution will kick off against the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois.

The Midnight Riders will be hosting a gathering at the Banshee in Dorchester to celebrate the beginning of the season and watch the Revs get the first three points of the 2013 season. Join us there, starting at 6pm, for food, drinks, formation arguments and a whole lot of yelling at TV screens. We’ll also have special guests from the Revolution, including #15 Stephen McCarthy, who has contributed a signed jersey for a raffle. Proceeds for the raffle will go to the Kirk Urso fund – you can read more about Urso, and McCarthy’s involvement, here.

Don’t forget to bring your friends. They can join right at the event, and you can renew your membership if you haven’t already. We should also have a limited number of 2013 scarves available for purchase.

See you tonight!
