No, it wasn’t Beyonce’s fault.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke Monday morning about the power outage at the Super Bowl, confirming that Sunday’s halftime show had nothing to do with the power going out at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, delaying the game for 34 minutes,  according to Gregg Rosenthal,  Around The League Editor for NFL.com


The Superdome, meanwhile, confirmed that Beyonce’s halftime show ran on generated power that was not using the power inside the stadium.

Entergy New Orleans, Inc., the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District (LSED), and SMG, the management company of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, on Tuesday (Feb. 5)  announced plans to jointly hire an independent third party expert to conduct an independent assessment of the cause of the partial power outage during Super Bowl XLVII.

Entergy New Orleans, the LSED and SMG will jointly select the independent third party, and prior to selection, the parties expect to discuss the selection with the NFL.

In the meantime, Entergy is continuing with its own root-cause analysis into the origin of the outage.

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.

There were no additional issues detected.

Entergy and SMG will continue to investigate the root cause of the abnormality.

      a chinese coordinated cyber attack(one of many to come)on entergy and various other energy and grids . a down market today and in future because they are also buying out their treasuries….a warning

      When a circuit breaker is triggered it does not take 30 minutes for back up power to come on.
      Does it. The outage was not confined to the stadium.

      • stompk

        Those big sodium lights take 15-20 minutes to refire.

    • skyguy66

      Interesting that the duration of the outage was a moment more than 33 minutes AND the time in the second half that the power failed (was cut-off) was at the 13:22 mark. We all know how important the number 322 is the the Skull and Bones crowd. A message, of some value, was transmitted via this event. March 22 seems to be a day to mark on the calendar, again.

    • patricks-bushcraft

      What about the gas the police said they smelled? See there are no full scale investigations anymore. The media tells you the story, the next day it’s in the rear view mirror. Sandy hook is a prime example.

    • Linuxmaster

      I think it was the head coach of the New England Patriots.. He was a pretty bad sore- sport after the loss.. :wink: i’m just saying… maybe?? :idea:

      • All Natural

        Wow so… there were three teams in the superbowl this year? That’s a conspiracy in it’s self!

    • LAYNALAND

      yes, this was a message to someone…you can believe that for sure…

    • stompk

      The official story is a lie. I have been an electrician for 20 yrs. They are saying a phase monitor tripped the breaker. If that was the case, the entire stadium would have gone dark, not just one side.

      • anonymoustache

        Combat veteran,too?
        You’re just an expert at everything-
        especially BS.

        • stompk

          Combat vet 87-91, Electrician 93-2013. What a moron. I happen to be one of those combat vets, who has not ever taken a dime from the taxpayer after I got out, so suck it moron.

    • Rich Crankshaw

      well , how can an extra 34 minutes cause a loss in revenue ? When it actually allowed for more commercial time . So wouldn’t that simply mean that the networks actually made more money , and sponsors had more airtime ?

      If there is anything to this fantasy , it would be , “that” , and given the amount of extra money made from a simple flip of the switch , It makes more sense . It also helps those who initiated such tactics when everyone goes down the side road chasing Big Foot .

    • BADGER BADGERISM

      in response to skyguy66, March 22, hmmmm March is the supposed premier date for the ” GRAY STATE’ promotional about the Lockdown…..which was a psyop in itself

    • Anonymous

      bunch of bs………….the plug on the original plan was pulled for some reason

      This was possibly a result of RF (radio frequency) getting into the control panels/computer and causing a voltage overload. There was a ham radio special event station operating at the super bowl and the speculation is that some HF RF stray voltage may have caused the outage.

      That is the word going around the ham radio community anyhow.

      WRONG! This incident is related to the still delayed announcement by Obama/NASA that Planet X/Nibiru is real and has been in the vicinity for years.

      SOZT
      What officials in New Orleans are not telling the public is that the blackout that struck the Super Bowl should NOT have happened. An electromagnetic pulse, causing an electrical surge, causes an automatic shutdown on equipment. This is a protective maneuver, as either the surge or its opposite, a brownout or dip in the flow, can damage equipment. Such pulses have occurred since Planet X arrived
      http://www.zetatalk.com/index/lou1205.htm
      in the vicinity in 2003, notably the outage in New York City
      http://www.zetatalk.com/index/lou1205.htm
      on August 14, 2003 and the power surge at the Sayano-Shushenskaya dam
      http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta526.htm
      on August 17, 2009. They can also occur during a massive solar flare, but no such flare occurred during the Super Bowl, nor was an electromagnetic pulse from Planet X responsible as EITHER source of such a pulse would cause WIDESPREAD damage, not be focused inside a single building as the Super Bowl outage was.

      Officials are at a loss for an explanation as it was not faulty wiring, not excessive use of electricity causing a brownout, not a faulty generator for auxiliary lights creating an overflow of electricity into the system, and not some force of nature such as a solar flare. The system was clearly supporting demand as the first half had passed without incident. Beyonce required auxiliary lights but her show had completed before the blackout. The blackout occurred as the second half was in process. A force of nature, such as a solar flare or pulse from Planet X, would have affected a broad area, but the blackout was caused by a focused surge within the SuperDome. The FBI has assured all that terrorism was not a factor. It was not a deliberate sabotage of any sort.

      So what happened? We explained in March 3, 2012 that the Council of Worlds had engaged the cover-up
      http://www.zetatalk.com/ning/03mr2012.htm
      in what we called a war, as to allow the Earth changes to proceed as nature intended while the common man was kept ignorant of the cause would interrupt the spiritual lessons the passage of Planet X, aka Nibiru, provides. Punch 1 occurred on March 12, 2012 when the Earth’s magnetosphere appeared to completely reverse,
      http://www.zetatalk.com/ning/24mr2012.htm
      though this was only the view provided by NASA’s satellites and did not affect the Earth. By June 16, 2012 the Obama administration was formulating an announcement, but due to the efforts of those wanting the cover-up to continue and the pending re-election of Obama, these efforts were put aside until after the election.

      Now the November 6, 2012 election is past. Potential blocks to the legitimacy of the Obama presidency, such as the Electoral College vote on December 17, 2012, are past, as is the acceptance of this vote by the House in early January. The swearing in ceremony on January 20, 2013 is past. And key positions within the administration, such as Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, CIA and other less important cabinet appointments are essentially filled or guaranteed to be filled by Obama’s nominees. The fiscal cliff is resolved in Obama’s favor, with the Bush tax breaks to the rich ended. The debt ceiling has also been resolved, the House allowing Obama to raise the ceiling, at least temporarily. The announcement team is ready, yet Obama is not proceeding, lingering for yet another day or week, as he fears the reaction will be devastating and exhausting.

      The Council of Worlds has lost patience. The deliberate blackout during the Super Bowl was just a gentle nudge. Punch 2 has been delayed because the Obama administration was dead serious about announcing the presence of Planet X, having NASA explain what they have withheld from the public, having NOAA and the USGS explain how the near presence of Planet X has affected the globe. It is time for the little guy, the common man, to have the same access to information that the elite enjoy. Rather than punish the common man by releasing the full force of the 7 of 10 plate movements, the Council will be punishing those involved in continuing the cover-up, whether friend or foe.

      Wow you Niburu people baffle the crap out of me….so do you Solar flare people. Solar flares happen all the time. Our atmosphere protects us from them. Council of Worlds! hahahaha The superbowl was just a warning. Next time we are taking out Dancing with the stars!

    • nowhereman

      maybe they should have the stupid bowl during daylight hours duh the whole thing disgusts me. slut show w the bleach blonde,exploitation of children and who knows what else its just made a big deal of so people will go out and spend money on food and liquor-stoooopid bowl 4 sure

    • wvbowhunter

      Say what you will and speculate all you want. Power outages do not happen at a major sporting event that is as big as the super bowl. There is most definately something else going on here. SOmebody “tested” something. The gas smell was a test as well. For what, don’t know. Yeah the 322 connection is not a coincidence, China, maybe, but something more undetectable and by an agency that wants to remian hidden. Whoever it was, has there results in hand. Success or not, I do not know, just protect yourselves.
