The New England Revolution beat the Columbus Crew 2-1 in a Major League Soccer preseason game this afternoon at Finley Stadium.
An announced crowd of 4,379 attended the game despite the cloudy, cold and windy conditions.
"We're thrilled, and it just goes to show that Chattanooga loves its soccer," Chattanooga Football Club general manager Sean McDaniel said. "They show up when it's not ideal weather and they're great supporters of the game."
Soccer promoter Scott Spencer, who also brought the friendly between the U-20 national teams from Colombia and Mexico to Finley last November, said after the game that he was happy and the teams were happy.
