Columbus Crew scoreboard catches fire

The Columbus Crew was getting set to face D.C. United at home when their scoreboard started burning up.

Action was swift, and it only took about 30 minutes for the Columbus Fire Department to put the blaze out, but it certainly gave fans a memorable experience. No word yet on why the fire started.

The game will continue after the heated delay. Never a dull moment!

UPDATE: Video of the fire as it smolders.
