They opened the season with ten straight games on the road due to the completion of Livestrong Sporting Park in the early part of the 2011 season, so the club elected to play its first ten games away, rather than find a temporary venue. The record for longest home stand a team has played during the regular season is shared by Chicago Fire in 2006 and Sporting Kansas City in 2011. They played nine consecutive games at home. The highest number of points achieved by a team at home during a regular season was 41 ( 12 -- 0 -- 5 ) by LA Galaxy in 2011 and ( 13 - 2 - 2 ) by the New York Red Bulls in 2016. The highest number of points achieved by a team on the road during a regular season was 37 ( 13 -- 3 ), by the LA Galaxy in 1998. The most draws achieved by a team during a regular season was 18, by Chicago Fire in 2014. See also List of American and Canadian soccer champions References Jump up ^ `` All - Time ''.
