SUPERDOME GOES DARK ( SUPERDOME XLVII) Feb 4th 2013, 02:07   (According to USA TODAY SPORTS) A brief power outage sent the Superdome into darkness in the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVII. Less than two minutes into the second half, at 8:37 ET, the lights cut out at the New Orleans dome, briefly delaying play and cutting audio to the CBS television feed. Phil Simms' microphone cut out mid-sentence while the network was showing a replay and when cameras cut back to a live shot of the Superdome, the bank of lights atop the seats were dark. As soon as halftime show was over, a smoke alarm started going off inside the press box, in a hallway next to the AFC coaches box. Superdome staff was scrambling to fix the issue during halftime. Fans began doing the wave as the outage continued. A league spokesperson told CBS that it would be anther 15 minutes before the game could begin again, which would mean a delay of approximately 30 minutes.
