You think I’m kidding, don’t you? Well, here’s what happened this past St. Paddy’s Day, at the Texas Tornado game.
Like most things in Texas, we grow our thunderstorms BIG. And we had a BIG storm roll through the lovely city of Frisco. We could just hear the thunder over the roar of the crowd and the PA. I was pretty sure the storm would pass over.
Then with 15:26 left in the game, the power died briefly. Immediately, the incandescent, low-powered lights came back, but the high-powered arena lights and the scoreboard. That came back briefly, but with only random green lights on the video screen, almost as if they were starting to show The Matrix on it.
It took them about five minutes to get the arena lights starting to warm up. The guys went on to win the game 6-2.
One more thing: the beer cart started closing up shop after power came back on. They’re supposed to stop selling with 10 minutes left.
We was robbed.
