Lens maybe, and yes I see the specks of color.

I really hate thinking this much over something. lol

Anyways, this is probably my final guess.

The Diamond plate and the 5 seem recessed in a bowl shaped object. The diamond plate is obviously not see through so I can't tell if this object is a rolling goal but I do believe we have a goal on our hands.

Blue 5 pt goal, in the shape of a Volcano - on the real field made out of some poly resin material that is translucent blue and maybe more colors for more teams.

The Volcano shape would explain the skewing of the crowd and the funky optics based trick it is playing with us.

Horray for refraction and optics!!!

I mean c'mon people. How many times have we seen an object in a movie bounced off of a astronaut's mask, or a picture taken with a fish eye lense (ya know.. kinda like this picture in the CD gallery)

Optics had to come into mainstream FIRST eventually, why not in 2007?
