Well this was a fun gig for sure. I did the first three songs with no flash thing. I shot everything with my 17-55 mm lens. Some of the shots were at 17mm, that's how close I was to the action.

I really want a second D500 body. I had my D7100 with a 35mm /1.8 and my D500 with the above mentioned lens. The ISO control is in a different place for each camera and is actually second function button for the D7100 .
I followed advice from a very good you tube video and shot this in A mode. Shooting in A mode makes alot of sense, when I know I will be shooting wide open all night. I kept my eye on the shutter speed in my view finder display and adjusted the ISO to get a shutter speed of at least 1/125th. This works well when you have a nice margin to work with where you don't need a really fast shutter and you don't have to up your ISO to insane levels. I don't know if this technique would work so well for night football.
I've started loading IPTC profiles into my D500.
