iPad microphone options

I am looking for a microphone solution for streaming on an iPad. I am looking to stream live sporting events and be able to have the iPad on a tripod close to the event recording the audio and video of the event, while I am further away as to not disturb the event, with a wireless mic adding commentary. My question is can you keep the internal microphone active while using an external microphone and record both, or would I need a system for 2 external microphones to get both sets of audio, and if so, what microphone setup would you recommend?

Thanks

iPad will accept only a single audio source.

If you are looking to use multiple microphones, as described, you will need to use an external hardware mixer to combine your audio sources - and then use the “mixed” audio output from the mixer as input to your iPad.
