As one of those people right next to the field at VCU, all I had to do was ask the media desk. (edit: in Atlanta, this is obviously not possible. However I believe that each team there gets a media pass in their welcome packet)

I primarily used my Canon 30D + 70-200F/4 L when shooting the game itself. I usually pushed the ISO to 1600 and got my shutter speed up to 1/250, which is about maxing out my f/4. (Oh I envy you people with a 70-200 2.8) This was at VCU, which did not have the greatest lighting. I'm sure I could get much better results in the Georgia Dome.

When in the pits, I used either my 50 f1.8 or the (crappy) 18-55mm kit lens along with a 430EX flash.
