In a press statement released on its website today, Entergy New Orleans announced the cause of the now infamous Super Bowl 47 blackout which caused half of the Superdome stadium to be without lights.

Despite growing criticism by some of the blackout that marred what appears to be a near-perfect Super Bowl week by the City of New Orleans, Mayor  Mitch Landrieu, area leaders, Super Bowl and city officials put their best face forward praising one another for a job well done.

Once again, the City of New Orleans did an outstanding job of hosting the world’s biggest sporting event, the Super Bowl. For the tenth time, New Orleans welcomed the NFL’s signature event to the city. The response from the media, fans, and NFL officials has been fantastic with some even saying that the city should host the game every year.

Happy Halloween ya'll.
