The entire crowd went Then silence for a few seconds. During a match.

Back at the pits, virtually every team was there asking if they could help. A sawzall was found to cut the 1/2" tool-steel shaft that was bent into a U away so they could get at the damage.

Long story short (They'll have to tell you the long version) with a lot of help from several teams, they made it onto the field for their next match, 100% repaired. The crowd went wild.
I do remember something similar happening on the Mt Olive practice field. They did get it back running in time for qualification matches
