The photos create an eerie atmosphere of empty stadiums and fans doing what they can to watch the games. The photo essay really shows the contrast to what football was like in previous months. I think this essay really captured the mood.

  I shot this image in f/22. Although it is very close to the subject, the background is still in focus due to the high aperture.
