Western Conference  Eastern Conference

The2002 Major League Soccer season was the seventh season ofMajor League Soccer. It was also the 90th season of FIFA-sanctioned soccer in theUnited States, and the 24th with a national first-division league.

According toFC Dallas president Dan Hunt, the entire league nearly folded during the 2001 offseason.[1] The owners agreed to shut down the league on a conference call in November 2001, but within two daysLamar Hunt convinced the other owners to give the league another year.

On January 8, 2002, the league folded two of its teams, both of which were inFlorida. TheMiami Fusion ceased operations after only four years of existence due to low attendance and an unfavorable stadium deal. TheTampa Bay Mutiny also ceased operations due to the lack of local ownership. Additionally, the league eliminated the Central Division and returned to the original two-conference alignment.

Two new stadiums opened this season. TheColorado Rapids moved intoInvesco Field at Mile High and theNew England Revolution moved intoCMGI Field, which was renamed Gillette Stadium on August 5. Additionally, due to renovations atSoldier Field, theChicago Fire played atCardinal Stadium in the western suburb ofNaperville.

In an effort to lower costs, the number of games was reduced from 32 to 28, marking the fewest games played in league history. The playoffs were also reformatted as the teams with the 8 highest point totals qualified regardless of conference affiliation.

The regular season began on March 23, and concluded on September 22. The 2002 MLS Cup Playoffs began on September 25, and concluded withMLS Cup 2002 on October 20. After three previous losses in the final, theLos Angeles Galaxy won their first MLS Cup with a victory over theNew England Revolution.
