Superbowl = Super {Power} Surge

     As I am sure you all know, last night was the Superbowl. Before the game even started, anyone who knows anything about football knew what the majority of coverage outside of the game was going to entail: the Harbaugh brothers. This was the first Superbowl featuring brothers as opposing head coaches. What people were not expecting was a power outage at the beginning of the third quarter.

   
     The Superdome was constructed over thirty years ago with major reconstruction after hurricane Katrina. This outdated facility lost power and delayed the Superbowl for thirty minutes. This will likely hurt the city's bid to host future championships as well as solidifies the trend of hosting major events in the newest stadiums around.

    What does this say for the city of Atlanta? I think it proves that if Atlanta fans and residents want to see a Superbowl or any other major championship game played in this great city, a new stadium must be in the plans for the future. Arthur Blank knew this truth before the blackout on Sunday night. With talks of LA wanting a NFL team and a team owner who is pushing for a new stadium, if Georgians want to see the Falcons stay in their home state, it is inevitable for the city to build a new home for the team.
