Before Superbowl XLVII ended, before the last fan left the stadium, before a winner was declared ... LIGHTS OUT!
WWLTV shared Bradley Handwerger Wwltv's photo.

Statements issued concerning the Super Bowl power outage - FOX 8 WVUE New Orleans News, Weather, Sports
Commissioner Eric Skrmetta, LPSC
Good Morning! Hope all of you enjoyed the Super Bowl last night. Congratulations to the Ravens on their win.
Entergy sent me the following statement as an update to the power outage yesterday. They are continuing to investigate and I will keep you posted.
"Shortly after the beginning of the second half of the Super Bowl in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, a piece of equipment that is designed to... monitor electrical load sensed an abnormality in the system. Once the issue was detected, the sensing equipment operated as designed and opened a breaker, causing power to be partially cut to the Superdome in order to isolate the issue.
"Backup generators kicked in immediately as designed. Entergy and SMG subsequently coordinated start up procedures, ensuring that full power was safely restored to the Superdome.
"The fault-sensing equipment activated where the Superdome equipment intersects with Entergy’s feed into the facility."
