However, right before the 30 sec whistle the MC did say: "...their hailing down all over the field!...", although I think he was talking about the basket balls.
I felt the mist (in section 31 about 8-10 rows above the aisle through the seating sections that circle the fields).

My daughter was sitting on the main floor (with representatives from the 400 teams). She saw about three chuncks of ice fall from the ceiling during the hail storm.

I heard the hail outside hitting the dome, but did not see the hail/ice falling inside from the ceiling, so I believe you had to look at the right place at the right time and from the right angle to see the ice.

I and my wife both felt the mist (in section 31) on two separate occasions prior to the start of the semi's.
