Unbelievable.
I was in my car on my way home from a Super Bowl party, listening on the radio. I have no idea who these announcers are but they said the outage was probably due to Beyonce's half time show.
Obviously no IQ test required to be a sports announcer on the radio.

In fact I mentioned it knowing that they could be criticized but you made sure to turn it into an attack
proud2BlibKansan
(96,793 posts)Just like Im sure you were when you said the union guys were drinking, right?

(16,350 posts)Her show did use a lot of juice so technically I guess it's possible. No need to get upset over a meaningless comment.

(12,041 posts)Although Beyonce herself would not be to blame, I am sure she did not create her own light show. The people who did design the stage setup for her show may well be partially responsible however, the infrastructure was also not great to begin with so the owners of the dome likely hold responsibility as well. I expect next year they will scale back on the amount of juice they use for the halftime show.
I almost wish I had my tv hooked up so I could watch now, the power outage interests more than the game.
