Ten Keys to the Season #8 – Home Form

Last year the Rapids didn't have quite as much luck at home, considering being up 5280 feet high at DSGP is supposed to be their biggest advantage at a team. They started off well, recording 3-1 and 4-1 wins over the

and DC United, but their form immediately began to drop at that point.

Sure, you could blame the injuries for some of that but there were quite a few times in 2011 when the team let down the home fans by outplaying the competition but not getting the W in the end. We can probably expect another road record similar to last year's 6-7-4 so they'll need to bump up the home points to clinch a playoff berth that isn't last second like it has been the past few years.
