John, when the lights went out, what you said about the lighting being on an hour bypass vs. manual override is the first thing that popped into my mind. (Hence my original post laugh ) The lighting controls went from "showtime" to "clean up crew" IMO..

News and the word from during the game was an offsite malfunction caused the outage (reclosure picking up a fault?) I smell someone covering their butt!

Tesla.. There's no way this place could operate on a 480V feed from Entergy... I'm guessing at a minimum there's a 12KV feed to an onsite 12KV/4160V sub. From there, going to separate points throughout the stadium and brought down to 480Y/277V and 208Y/120V at individual electrical rooms. Just the size of the place would be a voltage drop nightmare at any less!
