In this case the current carrying capacity of the wire is unimportant. It's the resistance that is of concern. I believe 14ga to be somewhere around 0.5 ohms per hundred feet. Not much in a 24ohm circuit.

I'd be more worried about the acoustics of the arena. Reverberant fields wreak havoc on the intelligibility.
