I will be shooting in a sports arena where the lighting will be poor. What are some of the faster color films available for sports photography with the least amount of grain. If I need to push the film that would be OK! Thanks:)

Portra 800 can be pushed a stop and still looks ok, I haven't used it much but I would push a stop but expose at 1250 rather than 1600, that seems to be best. Fuji make Natura 1600 colour neg which is meant to be very good too but hard to get outside of Japan (have a look on flickr for some examples), lastly Provia 400x pushed 2 or even three stops can work too, there's a review somewhere of it that showed pretty good examples but I can't seem to find it. This rff thread has some examples: http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48913

 

I know this is the film forum but I gotta say this really is where digital shines, low-light colour photography, that is.
