This is quite common, in arenas where tournaments, etc. are held. Don't know
who pays the bill, but strobes. lots of them, are mounted in the ceiling. I
imagine that the arena pays, just like for the color balanced lights for TV.
The photog uses a radio control device, just like the ones wedding photogs
use. How do they pick who gets the control? Don't know. And, it doesn't seem
to hurt the TV cameras.
