Is is possible to crop drastically tighter? In the first photo, the players fill less than one-third of the picture which means maybe two-thirds of the picture can be cropped away. (Try not to cut people in half in the background though. That guy in orange is going to be a problem.)

Your lighting looks pretty good. :D
Don't see any motion blur.
Crop #1, #2 is not a keeper.

Your lighting looks good, and I will have to agree with dave #1 needs cropping and #2 adds nothing. Were your lights direct or bounced and what reflectors were you using? One other thing you might want to try is using a gobo to block some of the spill light that is falling into the audience this will help clean up that BG by making it darker.

Lighting was bounced using 11" reflectors. Good ideas to cut down on the lighting in the stands. Thanks.
