Las Vegas Power Failure hits the Super Dome

Hotpizza · Feb 3, 2013

Just like at Boyd Stadium when Wisconsin was on their way to smashing UNLV magically the power went out and the game was suspended.

Now we have Baltimore smashing SF and like magic there's a massive power failure.

HA HA HA

Of course it didn't happen this way but it is so similar to that game just on a much bigger stage.

This didn't happen at Lucas Oil Stadium last year in Indy.

So are you thinking a conspiracy theory or something?

Someone with a voodoo doll of an electrical transformer.

Maybe it was the Buffalo Wild Wings guy.

No, but so much planning goes into this 1 game; you would think they would have everything covered. These cities spend millions and have spent countless hours going over plans, back-up plans, contengensy plans, etc.

Just hard to beleive something simple like the power would go out.

To have the lights back on in less than 30 minutes is pretty impressive if you ask me.

It wasn't an internal problem... Came from the outside

reminds me of the UNLV game when the power went out right before 55 minutes. This of course wasn't the case, but one always wonders....

I didn't think it was a conspiracy theory at all when it happened. Thought of it as an oddity occurrence and it reminded me of the WIS/UNLV game as I stated in the first comment. I just had a picture of some mad man that bet large on SF blowing up a transformer or something.

The mystery as to why the power went out at Boyd Stadium to my knowledge wasn't fully solved and remains a mystery. If someone knows differently, please share. I think it was Murph though, he had some kind of power surge sent from his system and tapped into Nevada Power to make it happen. You know Murph and his tech guru abilities.
