I love the feeling in this photo. It gives me a very good insight of audience "life" at a hockey match. It seems social, and kind of lonely at the same time (this might not make any sense). It is something with the people in frame having common focus, without really communicating with each other. I think it is the distorted fish eye angle that makes me feel like this, it makes is a bit surreal. Another thing is the guy looking like he is sucking his thumb (probably he isn't), thats not something you do in public. This gives me a "men behaving like kids" feeling.
So, I'm not sure if I like it for the "right" reasons, but I do like it.
