Roger Goodell: New Orleans Will Host Super Bowl Again, Despite Power Outage
It happens
The 34-minute long power outage in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Sunday night won't affect New Orleans' chances of hosting another Super Bowl. That's according to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Still, Goodell and many other people want to know what caused the outage.
For 34 minutes, fans inside the Superdome sat in partial darkness, with no air conditioning or running water inside the facility. The power outage garnered plenty of negative attention, but the NFL says it shouldn't be a reflection on the entire Super Bowl experience in New Orleans.
