Wikipedia:Picture peer review/M&T Bank Stadium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Defense Secretary Robert Gates, left, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, center, and Becky Gates, right, watch the Navy vs. Notre Dame football game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Nov. 15, 2008. The Fighting Irish defeated the Midshipmen, 27-21.

This is Wikipedia's best photograph of M&T Bank Stadium's interior and is featured prominently in the article. It is also notable because two cabinet members are watching their alma maters face each other on the gridiron. EDIT: Robert Gates did not attend the Naval Academy, it was a mistake on my part.

  • Hard to know what to make of this. The quality seems quite good and it's actually not a bad photo of the stadium itself, though those three people at front are definitely quite distracting and are really the focus of the shot. They are however notable people, but on the other hand you only really see the back of their heads and there is some quite harsh flash lighting on them (and I note this isn't used to illustrate their articles). Overall I don't think I'd support it and tend to suspect odds would be against it, but it's hard to really say how it would fare for sure. --jjron (talk) 07:32, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
