Notre Dame game, per ESPN site:

The teams were playing at the Campbell Center in front of roughly 1,000 fans when a power outage caused a long delay in the second quarter. After calling around to local schools, the rest of the contest was played at Rice University, about 30 minutes away from the original venue. The teams bused over to Rice and picked up where they left off after a 2-hour, 35-minute delay. Notre Dame led 38-17 with 2:38 left in the second quarter. The game resumed at 10:11 p.m. with about 30 friends and family in attendance as well as the Rice women's basketball team. The teams had a 10 minute warm-up, skipped halftime, taking just a brief break between the second and third quarters.

I have to say that shows very impressive adaptability (and pretty quick thinking).
