Kraft Planning Revolution-Patriots Doubleheader This Weekend

BOSTON (CBS) -- Robert Kraft has a busy weekend ahead, but he's hoping it ends with a pair of victories for his two franchises.

Lucky for him, both of his teams are playing in the same state. So Kraft has a Revolution-Patriots doubleheader on his mind for Sunday.

Kraft, who owns both the New England Revolution and New England Patriots, will certainly be at the MLS Cup Sunday afternoon when his Revs take on the L.A. Galaxy at 3pm. And if all goes as planned, he'll be in San Diego a few hours later to watch his Patriots square off against the Chargers on Sunday Night Football.

As long as Kraft can square away some paperwork, he plans on making it to both games.

"I will definitely be at MLS Cup," Kraft told USA Today. "I am planning to get to San Diego, too, as long as we get the helicopter permits."

The Revolution are set to play in their fifth MLS Cup, facing off against the Galaxy at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. That sits 112 miles from Qualcomm Stadium, where the Patriots will take on the Chargers at 8:30pm.

It will be a very busy day full of travel, but one Kraft also hopes will include a couple of celebrations.

Tune in to Sunday's Revolution-Galaxy MLS Cup on WZLX 100.7FM. You can hear Sunday's Patriots-Chargers game on 98.5 The Sports Hub -- the flagship station of the New England Patriots. Pregame coverage begins at 5:30pm.
