          NOTE (^): '96 comparisons are to the same number of     home dates.  New England's first home game was part of a     one-ticket doubleheader involving a U.S.-Mexico World Cup     qualifying match at Foxboro.  For that game, capacity for     the Revolution was increased from 22,385 to 57,407.                              -30-
