Welcome back to Overheard in D.C., DCist’s weekly column of funny, strange, and poignant things that our readers and staff overhear and send in. We’ve been doing it since 2006, and check out the archives here.

The Washington Spirit normally plays at a relatively small stadium out in Germantown, Maryland. But after the enormously popular Women’s World Cup, the team had two games scheduled for Audi Field, drawing huge crowds to the pitch where DC United usually stars. If our Overheards of the Week are any indication, they brought a new audience.
