I solved the issue by taking one of the amber bastard colored gels (same ones used for the stage lighting) and using a little gaffers tape to hold it in front of the lens. sounds ridiculous but the stage looks great and the crowd shot is worlds better. there is a slight difference in the two shots, but the average viewer wouldnt notice since you cant see both at the same time. i tweaked each camera using the sign video procamps (love those things) and it looks pretty dang good.
