The New England Revolution found an innovative way to fill their stadium on Thursday evening, welcoming fans to watch the team in a safe way on the very ground where they normally play.
The club opened up Gillette Stadium for fans in their cars to drive onto the field for a socially-distanced watch party as the Revs returned to play for the first time in four months:
