Does the Cajundome not have some sort of backup power?

Not to power the entire building. Backup generator could be heard when we left.

Not a dome issue, LUS was working on a transformer which apparently serves from south of dome, east to coulee, west to Bertrand and north halfway between Congress and Eraste Landry.

Pleading for fans to show up and they can’t even keep the lights on. Typical. That must be budget recovery plan #1. Save on utilities.

Really

Anyone know what the mechanical equipment is on the flatbed trailer parked near the rear entrance of the dome? Almost looked like a backup generator. Been there for a week or two.

Nailed the predicted, predictable, misplaced, and misguided biotching.

[CajunVic]

Nah, nobody ever biotches here on RP.

Sarcasm. We need to keep it light sometimes.

And there is a little unintentional wordplay.

Yup.

There was a silver lining. People were actually able to have normal level conversations during the delay.

Still laughing about “resetting the elevator” remark. And laughing at those few individuals rushing home to watch Alice Shoe WBB.

The entire area was blacked out. The Saint steets, hotel across Congress.....looking east down Congress all was dark, including traffic lights. Zero percent chance this was a UL.issue

Does the Cajundome not have some sort of backup power?

All buildings with "ASSEMBLY" occupancy must have backup power in cases like this. The stand by electric capacity is only for, exit lights, aisle lights, means of egress lights, area of refuge lights and public address power. It can be in the form of an autonomous generator or battery. It is not intended as a full "whole house" power supply. Everything is spelled out in the Life Safety Code. Good reading to cure insomnia.

Indoor events with large crowds can attract the attention of the fire Marshal. Believe it or not the fire Marshal can force a venue to shut down when blatant or excessive safety issues are involved. He/she is the ultimate authority in emergency situations not the event promoter. The fire Marshal is a badge carrying, fire arm toting branch of the state police and has arrest authority should things get to that point. They usually wear a bright white highly starched shirt, side arm, navy blue or blue pants and polished black shoes. They are not to be taken lightly and they typically get what they want or you wind up in jail.
