[californiadisasters] Re: [California's Earthquake Forum] Isn't 1st Time Power Has Gone Out There On Prime Time TV

If not for the game, and the hype which went along with it, this would have gone unnoticed. -Candlestick Park is one of the oldest stadiums in the league and the outage is sure to start the debate for the dire need for the 49ers to get a new stadium.-   lol Oh yes, I understand well how a power outage, due to the power companys transformer failing, will be a key factor in the need to build a new stadium. This is a dire situation indeed.                                                                                         _______________   LITTLE WOLF AND MORNING STAR-Out of exile and defeat, they led us back to Montana and won our Cheyenne homeland that we will keep forever   --- On Tue, 12/20/11, Kim Noyes <kimnoyes@gmail.com> wrote: From: Kim Noyes <kimnoyes@gmail.com> Subject: [California's Earthquake Forum] Isn't 1st Time Power Has Gone Out There On Prime Time TV To: "CaliforniaDisasters" <californiadisasters@yahoogroups.com>, "California's Earthquake Forum" <californiasearthquakeforum@yahoogroups.com> Date: Tuesday, December 20, 2011, 5:45 AM   Power Outage Delays "Monday Night Football" Transformer explodes outside Candlestick Park in SF By Sajid Farooq - KNBC-TV Los Angeles |  Monday, Dec 19, 2011  |  Updated 5:56 PM PST As Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was announced as being active against the San Francisco 49ers, the stadium had different ideas. The start of Monday Night Football at Candlestick Park in San Francisco was delayed Monday when a transformer exploded just outside the stadium. The start of the game was delayed indefinitely and ESPN showed aerial footage of fans sitting in their seats waiting for the lights to go back on. The lights went out for just under 30 minutes before turning back on at 5:44 p.m. There were no reports of an earthquake or an foul play involved. Candlestick Park is one of the oldest stadiums in the league and the outage is sure to start the debate for the dire need for the 49ers to get a new stadium. The stadium was built in 1960 and the 49ers began playing in the park in 1972.Source: http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/NATL-BAY-Lights-Go-Out-at-Candlestick-Park-135898028.html?_osource=Newsletter-Daily -- Check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/californiadisasters/ Read my blog at http://eclecticarcania.blogspot.com/ My Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/derkimster Linkedin profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kim-noyes/9/3a1/2b8 Follow me on Twitter @DisasterKim
