The sky was so pretty before the game tonight - it made for a dramatic backdrop:

Nice shot! Did you use a flash? It looks to me just stadium lights. What were the settings at?

I did use a flash - my settings were as follows:

ISO - 800
Full manual
F/stop - 3.5
Shutter - 1/250

I was actually on manual focus (I'd just set my white balance) and forgot ... fortunately, it happened to be set correctly!

Cool shot. It is nice to see a change in the weather here in So. Cal.

Wow... you really got lucky with the arbitrary manual focus. I'm surprised that f/3.5 didn't give more bokeh blur to the scoreboard and background people by the goalpost.
