Just two minutes into the second half of Super Bowl XLVII, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was hit with a severe power outage that knocked out nearly half of the lights — and delayed the game for more than 30 minutes. Read on for more shocking details.
Just moments after Beyonce delivered one of the most epic halftime shows of all time, the Superdome in New Orleans experienced a damaging power outage that caused the game to be delayed for more than half an hour.
Right as the second half of the 2013 Super Bowl game was getting started, a major outage caused nearly half of the lights to go black in the Superdome. The outage also caused the scoreboard to go blank, and cut off the official game announcers.
The game was forced to be delayed for more than 30 minutes as employees scrambled to figure out what went wrong. The players had to hang tight in the meantime, with some just stretching on the field to pass the time.
After approximately 20 minutes since the lights went out, official announcers on CBS said the outage was caused by an outside power feed that somehow got disrupted and went dead, which caused part of the power to go out. About 15 minutes after the outage, some of the lights started to come back on.
Although the game resumed exactly where it left off when the power went out, each team was given a warmup period before the game resumes. With the official halftime combined with the unpredicted power outage, the players had nearly an hour of no play.
What did YOU think of the power outage HollywoodLifers? Were you shocked?
