Besides, it's very shortsighted to punish a kid who is seeking more/better quality training. I'm not just talking about the Revs but DA as a whole. They should be working with international clubs to get more kids involved, even if just for short periods of time (which works with visa issues also). It would give it more street cred and further improve player quality. But USSF doesn't want to admit they can't get the job done.

The 35m sounds big but compared to other top performing MLS Teams it is actually half or way less than half of what they have invested in their facilities. Top facilities attract top coaching, attract top talent, attract fans, attract more money.
Doesn't seem like a real investment in the future. Maybe they will go for it with the stadium and try to rival Redbulls or DC or ATL but if not it kinda seals the deal as a middle tier soccer franchise.
And if MLS no longer protects homegrown territories and players can go anywhere and can choose from these amazing programs and facilities and the Revs can't try to block or mandate players.....seems like the program is going to continue its downward slide. Motivated coaches that want to reach the top level will go elsewhere.

Even if it gets built it will be a shack and its reported cost grossly inflated. That's how Kraft rolls.

Short of it: NE Revolution and its DA is the red headed step child of the Kraft Sports + Entertainment Group.

A lot of it is haters....but a lot of it is just frustration as well. Everyone knows this region could be a soccer powerhouse. There are 15m people here!
