Pope went through the entire crowd, signed autographs and took photos one after the other – no matter how many there were. He stayed until everyone could be happy.

In the end, Pope was one of the very last people in the entire building – every seat empty when he interacted with the final fans. Media members, support employees and the cleanup team were the only people when he was completed with video evidence to prove this.
