Not bad for a cell phone.

Aren't cell phones now just talking (or communicating) cameras

Yes, at least for some people. I find that the quality of top smart phones is amazingly good. I've got a Samsung S21 Ultra, and I got it mainly because it's either the best smartphone camera or close to it, depending on reviewers and data.

Are those actual people or cardboard cutouts?

All real. Notice the shadow under the foot of the guy in the dark sweatshirt, and the detail of people between the railings, farther down. One could fake all that, but the work would be long, for no benefit.

The players like more people watching. That's why I asked.

There are times when you need a larger sensor to get the right depth of field, or the quality of image that allows a larger print. It's just that the old saying "The best camera is the one you have with you" applies here. The Samsung S21 and S22 Ultras have an amazing telephoto that works as a macro lens:
