Any suggestions on how to fix a ping-pong table

[LuvOrlando]

So we had a nice big ping-pong table. Bought it a few years ago when the kids were younger, probably a Black Friday sale but it was still a couple hundred. Had it in our garage for years and no one used it and then we moved to the basement. For two winters it got a ton of use in our finished basement and the kids loved it. For some reason at the end of last winter one of my sons giant football playing teenage friends thought it would be a good idea to climb on top of it (or maybe the roughhousing and rolled into it) and down it went. A couple of the metal legs underneath it bent and were ruined. The top face of it is still completely intact but I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to use it this winter. Do I try to build some kind of legs for underneath it out of wood or do I try to place it on another banquet table & stabilize/brace it somehow.?Maybe saw horses? Maybe I should try to find two card tables at a yard sale or something? I tried searching the Internet for a way to deal with it thinking I can't be the only this happened to but I'm finding no solutions. Any experience or ideas? It would still have to be portable so I could move it out-of-the-way if I need to, because it is so huge.

Before we had a table we played on a large piece of plywood on top of one of those cheap folding banquet tables. It worked very well.

If you contact the company maybe they will send you more legs?

Thanks, I haven't tried anything yet, but that was a thought. Probably the easiest too. I was just trying to figure out how to stabilize the halves in the middle so they dont come apart. Maybe a pair of door hook latches on either side?
