After all these years I finally get to take some night shots at a baseball game. Anybody know what kind of lights the stadiums use?

Metal Halide lamps are used on most stadiums here in OZ.

My advise, having shot this a few times, ISO3200, Noise Ninja, and custom white ballance.

Good luck,

You'll also have to contend with color cycling of the light coming from these lamps, described well in this article:

This phenomenon is not restricted to outdoor lighting, BTW.
