They'll have enough. You haven't seen the masses of spare field elements they've been known to have. As an example: in 2003, we had plastic bins. There were at least two full pallets of bins at one end of Reliant Stadium, and someone was replacing bins every night. 2007, there were a lot of extra rings. 2006, spare Poof balls. You get the picture.
