United is the only club to have previously won MLS Cup in its home stadium, when it did so in front of 57,431 fans at MLS Cup 1997. D.C. earned a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids in 1997. The victory also marks the first time a professional sports franchise from Washington, DC has clinched a league title playing in the Nation's Capital.
