Image Source: USA Today BY KERRY LEARY ANCHOR LAUREN GORES The verdict is in... the source of the Super Bowl’s blackout has finally been established... and no... it wasn’t Beyonce. " Officials say a faulty electrical relay device caused the outage. It has since been removed.” “‘ Entergy’ the utility company , tweeted sunday night ‘service to the stadium had not been interrupted.’” So that’s just it... Bloomberg reports : “During the Feb. 3 National Football League championship game, the device triggered when it shouldn’t have, blacking out part of the enclosed stadium.” Before the real cause was known, speculation was rampant all over social media. But NBC News says , Beyonce wasn’t the only subject fans pointed fingers at when the blackout happened. “Legend has it that New Orleans’ Superdome is vexed by the angry spirits of the poor souls once buried beneath the stadium, their remains uprooted by backhoes during construction in the early 1970s … Perhaps it's only natural -- well, supernatural, anyway -- to suggest that the alleged curse was working again Sunday night in a city that loves its superstitions as much as its football.” Although the blackout that halted play for 34 minutes came as a shock to both teams as well as audience members, ESPN reports , officials were worried about the power outage months before the actual game. “Reports had been written from tests determining that the cedars that supply the power from the utility had shown some decay and a chance for failure.” About half of the lights at the facility, holding more than 70,000 fans, went dark in the third quarter blackout.
