the fans



This page came together at the seriously, the last minute. Unlike last year, we just don't have the space (or money) to run color photo pages anymore. It is such a shame because I feel it adds a lot to the coverage. I feel this huge pressure all the time to try and match up the theme or the story with the pictures. This can frankly be a total drag. Sometimes there are great pictures---that maybe don't speak to the game itself but are very valuable and let the reader see something completely different. Our past photo pages gave us that extra freedom to run those pictures.

So, for some reason we had some extra space and we were able to pull this off last minute. There are some little quirky things I am not thrilled with when it comes to the design of the page and some pictures---but I really like the main fan shot. Many of these pictures probably wouldn't have made it into the paper otherwise---doomed for a life online. But I am happy that we were able to do it.
