I'd say, move it further back, and concentrate the camera on the center of the stadium.

1. I'd say it's a combination of your lighting and camera's current white balance settings. They aren't any different from the ones on a regular photo camera and the symbols should look like or similar to
these. The symbol next to "Custom" on this list is the actual white balance symbol. If your camera/camcorder has this particular setting available, you'll need something completely or mostly white (like photo paper) and place it where you're filming, zoom in on it, and press the button, which will make the color appear as accurate as it possibly can. Most consumer-level cameras do not have the "Custom" setting and just have the presets (White Balance settings such as Auto, Daylight, etc). Also, don't rely on Auto; it can be both your enemy and friend. White Balance also depends on the kind of lighting one has: some light-bulbs give off a yellow tone, while some don't. Natural light (AKA sunlight) also has a certain color as well. Most of the time the actual color of the light is not noticeable to the human eye, but your camera will pick that up.
These photos are a good example of light color. So, when choosing a white balance setting, go with the one that looks as natural as possible. You never really want a yellowish/orangish warm-looking tone tone in your videos.
2. Also, like Luck said, you should move your camera further away from the subject since it's harder for the lens to focus the closer it is. It's the same principle as putting an object close to your face. Your eyes have trouble focusing on it and it'll look blurry. Even, if you close one of your eyes, the object will look a little less blurry, but it will still be out of focus. This is precisely why you should not put an object directly in front of a camera, as it is basically a mechanical version of an eye.
So, it's not a mystery... it's science!
Note: This is the simple version. There are more functions that also help with lighting such as the ISO levels, aperture, and shutter speed, but I don't want to get into stuff like that since are a bit more complicated. Consumer-level cameras and camcorders probably don't have those anyway.
Light Temperature is measured in kelvins (k).
