I posted another story from The Buffalo News. Shocker, shocker. Honestly, beside being extremely happy that the Bills are 5-1 (YAY!), this power outage situation really got me thinking.
First of all, I find it funny that 3 small helium balloons were able to knock out power to an entire professional size football stadium for an extended period of time. Looks like Ralph Wilson Stadium needs to update its power and electrical system.
Secondly, I was driving back to Ithaca from Buffalo during this game. We had it on in the radio and couldn't figure out why the audio had such awful quality. Then, all of a sudden, the audio turned crystal clear again. Turns out that with the power outage, the radio station couldn't use its equipment to broadcast the game. Determined to still provide fans with a play by play (which is a darn good thing, because CBS couldn't broadcast the game on TV when the power was out. There would have been an uprising if the radio failed to do the same), someone from 97 ROCK called a play by play in on his cell phone.
Dedication to sports and journalism at its finest!
