The soft focus and lighting conditions hurt this shot in my opinion. Looks like an overcast day, and with that HP cam you got, I know from experience that lighting has to be just perfect to get a crisp, well detailed photo.
There's really a lot going on here. While I wouldn't expect there to be in such a scene, there really isn't a focal point, nothing for us to really lay our eyes on and focus on.
There is the sign, however, the sign isn't as clear as I would like for it to be to really give the impression that you were going for.
The area up front is dark and the shadowing also makes it difficult to see detail. There also seems to be a dull 'fog' over the top half of the image which is probably created by simply poor lighting conditions. The best solution for this photo I think would be to just try it at a different time of day, or on a different day where the sky wasn't so overcast.

Very odd to see a stadium in this condition. I like the messiness of it.

The foreground is in deep shadow while the bright sunshine at the top draws my attention away from the subject area in the front. It's hard to immediately see what this picture is all about - too busy with no clear subject.

Good idea, more obvious sign would help, and consider bumping up both brightness and contrast.

I just can't see that there's anything odd about this. It could benefit from some closer cropping. There's too much going on in the picture.
