On Sunday, the Washington Spirit hosted their first preseason game in the region since 2019, and their first preseason game at Audi Field period, falling 2-1 to Sky Blue FC. Attendance was limited to a socially-distanced set Spirit investors and a small crew of very fortunate media members allowed to take notes from the stands.
It wasn’t a conventional way to cover a game, but these aren’t conventional times. Instead of a conventional recap, what I have for you is a collection of thoughts and impressions based on what went down on Buzzard Point this weekend.
