All the people have not yet gone home. Nice idea, I really like the image and story. I think that I'd prefer a tighter crop, it would still preserve the story, but allow me to see some facial expression that I want to see.

Great composition; hope the DNMC voters aren't blasting you for the person in the shot. Good color and clarity.

I love seat pictures and like the placement of your subject and her vividly contrasting with the seats. DOF is right one and your selection for a seat section is great - strong horizontal lines and vertical lines coming from the sloping seat backs (and complimentary "cutout").

I think a key part of this challenge (imho) was being able to take a people-less photo and make it compelling, so I'm knocking you down a point for that from a "challenge merit" perspective. But the photo itself really works for me.

I just want to say yours is the only ten I gave in this challenge. This image is the first thing that came to mind when I heard this challenges description, somebody upset with the outcome. There were so many empty fields, stands and balls but no people. How would I know it was "After" the game except for your gem here. If you don't get a ribbon don't take it personally. Excellent shot. Only one other came close and I gave them a 9.

Ooh, a tough one! Without the person, this would have been just another picture of seats. With the person, it technically DNMC. I like the shot, though, and so does my wife :-) 6
