Yep, That’s A Record

When DC United hosts the US Open Cup final against Seattle on September 2nd, it'll be their 8th consecutive home game in the tournament (10th if you count MLS play-in games, which I'm not for purposes of this example). That's a record. These are the only MLS teams to play as many as four consecutive games at home in the tournament:

Team Gms Year(s) DC United 8 2008-2009 Columbus Crew 6 2002-2005 Kansas City Wizards 6 2004-2006 New England Revolution 6 1997-2001 Los Angeles Galaxy 5 2005-2006 Chicago Fire 4 2006 Columbus Crew 4 2000-2001 Los Angeles Galaxy 4 2000-2001

DC, Columbus, Kansas City, Los Angeles (twice) and Chicago all won at least one Open Cup in that span.
