It was about 12 minutes prior to kickoff. An aerial view of the stadium showed a transformer blowing and the whole place going pitch black. The lights came back on after a few minutes. Lots of comparisons to the 1989 World Series when the earthquake hit. The start of the game is delayed and the stadium is on backup power.

” transformer blowing and the whole place going pitch black “

Years ago, I was working about a block away from a transformer that exploded on the pole - there’s a sound I don’t think I’ll ever forget...

If this was similar, I’m a bit surprised that the commentary didn’t go straight to “Bomb”, just from the sound...
