When using film, particularly in night shoots with action, we used to push the processing (bump up the ISO when photographing) Anyway, a way to acheive similar results on a digital camera is to push the ISO up while keeping the shutter speed up. This results in really under exposed images but, if taken in RAW, under exposure can be fixed.
In a gym with very high overhead tungsten lighting I have used ISO 400 (reduces some noise) set the camera to manual mode with aperture at lowest possible and shutter at about 1/400 for a 300mm zoom (because of crop factor). The images have noise but can be fixed. I watched my meter to make sure it didn't hang down at -2 - I lowered the shutter speed stop by stop until -1 2/3s.
This works fairly well.
Good luck. Its not easy to pay attention to action and that much information on your camera... :)

it sounds like you need to learn how to understand and use your camera before you try to shoot a night football game with it. If you don't understand shutter speed, iso and aperture settings and how they all affect eachother than you are going to have a difficult time shooting what is already a pretty difficult thing to shoot.
For practical purposes, if you want to have any chance of useable photos set your camera to "M" (manual mode) and set the aperture to 2.8. set the iso 1600. set the shutter speed to 1/320. If your photos are still not turning out light enough, there is just not enough light to shoot sports in that situation. You can try to use a shutter speed of 1/250 or slower for more light but your photos will most likely be unusable for one of 2 reasons: Camera shake or motion blur.
your shutter speed will go faster than 1/60, I don't know how you're stuck thinking it won't. |

Perhaps that's in Aperture mode with the ISO fixed, making the 1/60 the calculated minimum shutter speed.
