Adam,
If you are looking to add some punch then the Fuji Press 800 or the
consumer 800 (same emulsion) are cheap, readily available, able to
record fine detail, looks good in funky mixed lighting, about the same
grain as 200 speed film, and has a good tonal curve for scanning or
printing.

On the other hand, if you are looking to do more of a portrait thing,
close ups and what have you, Fuji's NPZ has all of the Press films
advantages with a slightly lower contrast and better skin tones.

I'm going to be shooting some night sports and wonder what people are
recommending for a fast color-negative film.

Portra 800?

Thanks
