Largest Print Size @ ISO3200?

[THE TOUCH]

I photographed an Arena Football game and had to shoot at ISO3200 with a 20D. What's the largest size I should allow the costumers to print? I was thinking around 8x12 but could I go bigger? I'm okay with the grain to a certain point.

Since this is the Sports Shots Thread, I've included a sample! Were you expecting football!? :lol3

This 10D ISO 1600 was done for fellow dgrinner and SmugMugger "marlinspike" and it came out great:

Dont' be shy about going large. If you like, process the file and shoot it by me, I'll be happy to review it before you print it (regardless of where you print it...)

Wow - that's very nice of you Andy! I'll take you up on your offer. I'm not planning on printing, but I didn't want to allow large prints to costumers if they were going to be poor quality.

The pics are in the following gallery -

How should I send you a sample? Can you pull it from the gallery?

Thank you Andy!
