[QUOTE="LensWork, post: 32820, member: 1283"] You can try setting your camera to manual exposure (in center-weighted or spot metering mode) and take an exposure reading off of the grass. Grass meters at about 18% gray which will give you proper exposure thereby eliminating the dark background and white uniforms that can confuse any auto metering system. The lighting at night sporting events is constant, so automatic exposure is not needed (the corners of the end zone may be a little darker than the center of the field). [/QUOTE]
