here is several that i took today at the Waterloo Regional, I wasn't in a very good spot. Personally I think they are too dark.

Honestly, those two seem alright by me. The field is more or less properly exposed, perhaps a hair under (1/3 stop or so) in the second picture. Given the lighting, you're not going to be able to get both the crowd and the field properly exposed in most arenas--it's going to be one or the other. Color me envious that ISO 1600 looks so good on your camera--the point-and-shoot I have pegs out at 400, and it's a left turn down Noise Avenue.

Keep shooting!
