The night the lights went out in Georgia

[mikesears]

Twice.

1. Working a game when a thunderstorm moved in. Well after the field was cleared, a bolt of lightning hit one of the banks of lights and knocked it out. Both teams chose to go with the final score as the outcome was not in doubt.

2. As a basketball fan, lights went out just as a player dunked the ball. It was restored a couple of minutes later.

Two lights out issues.

First one, right before kickoff of Varsity game one of the banks of lights caught fire, and in sequence the next bank went off, and the next and the next. We had two banks of lights on one side of the field. Early enough in the season to get the first half in. Electrician fixed the other poles during half, and finished the game with two on each side, one corner was pretty dark.

The other was also a Varsity game, had a squirrel get caught in the light box, sparks everywhere, and burnt squirrel at the concessions stand, hehehe. Played with one less bank of lights.

Had one side of the field go out. Of course, it was the other side and I was a wing. We finished the game that way. Since the light was coming from the other side, all I could see was shadows. Even though the light was shining on me, I was the one in the dark!
