The Evening the Super Bowl Went Dark

Super Bowl XLVII, played twelve years ago between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens, is often remembered not for the dramatic 34-31 victory of the Ravens or the performances of stars like Joe Flacco and Ray Lewis, but for the infamous power outage that occurred shortly after halftime. The blackout, which disrupted the game for 34 minutes, left players and broadcasters confused and concerned, with speculation about possible terrorist attacks looming in the minds of those in the Superdome and the 100 million viewers at home. As the game continued, the power loss shifted momentum, allowing the 49ers to score 17 unanswered points before narrowly losing. The incident sparked investigations into the cause of the outage, which was later attributed to a faulty relay device in the electrical system. Since then, substantial upgrades have been made to the Superdome’s electrical infrastructure to prevent a repeat occurrence, as the venue prepares to host Super Bowl LIX this weekend.
