I think you are still missing something. All the answers to your first question are valid here too.

Is it an indoor or outdoor stadium? Is it night or day? Are the lights on or not? Finally and most importantly, what is the reading on your light meter?

Nicky, are we doing your homework for you?

If so, please post the full question. We'll be happy to help you understand how to figure out the answer, but we probably shouldn't give it to you. We're not reallly helping you if we do that.

That sounds like a Sunny16 type question, so on a sunny day it would be the reciprocal of the ISO used -- about 1/2000th is nearest. But all this would be modified by available light, which as nsbca7 pointed out, we have no information on.

As for information on how to work with these numbers, Fred Parker's "The Ultimate Exposure Computer" provides a good starting place -- of particular interest may be the chart of relative strength of available lighting conditions.

But all this is a guess based on what you have told us -- more information would certainly help.

/edit: I certainly hope you have a camera you can play with the settings on while doing these exercises. They are going to seem pretty 'out there' without some practical experience to give you firm footing.
