Has the Rac ever lost power during a game?

[rcube1994]

Power just went out at my house as I'm heading up to the rac. Made me wonder if it ever lost power during a game.

Guess they have backup power these days but not sure about back in the day.

Power out in Warren County

No but the team lost power against SHU

 

[RUChoppin]

Power out in western Hillsborough, too

The electric feed is underground so that minimizes that possibility.

What? Having power during a cold snap? That’s sorta legit in my book.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Sorry you have lost power I hope you get it back soon.

The RAC losing power was your statement........So that's what I really commented on.

 

[angmo]

Shots of sake with the chef is power.

 

[RUBubba]

not full power, but I remember The lights dimming for several minutes during a game. maybe 15 years ago.

Somebody else might remember this, but the RAC used to have a bagpipe band that would come in once a year and perform. A huge band. I'm pretty sure that somewhere around 1995-96, there was a short power outage (the lights in the stadium went out) during their performance.

 

[RCBeta79]

Yes, for about seven years before Coach Pikiell.

I think it was the Black Watch from Scotland.

I do remember it happened for a football game I want to say against Virginia Tech in maybe 2002 or 2003ish. I remember waiting under the stands, it might have been during a lightning storm or something

You mean 30 years

 

[wheezer]

the only full disruption I can remember, and not a power failure, was the sit in, that halted and postponed the completion of a game versus number one ranked UMass in 1995

RU was winning at halftime and hopes for a major upset were valid, it seemed

I had brought my 13 year old daughter to this game, only one of a handful of times she saw a game, but she got an education on race and race relations that day

as a sidenote, they eventually finished the game and UMaSS won the game comfortably, a reversal from the first half
I believe the game was finished on a neutral court, Temple?
but not sure

This happened 17 years ago this week, when Charlotte visited the RAC to complete a home-and-home. Rutgers won in Charlotte the year before.

Expert recap and game analysis of the Charlotte 49ers vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights NCAAM game from 23 December 2005 on ESPN (AU).

"The game was delayed for eight minutes in the first half, when the power went out on the scoreboard and an embankment of lights opposite the players' bench with 5:40 remaining. Play resumed when the scoreboard went back on, and the lighting embankment came on after 16 minutes."

IIRC, Anthony Farmer was mid-jumper when this happened.

Not the RAC, and not a power issue, but does anyone remember the Carrier Dome's ceiling leaking water from so much accumulated snow on the roof while we were playing them? I remember they had to stop and delay the game. And I remember Sam Sanders sliding across the wet floor, and ESPN talking about it. This would've been mid to late 90s.
