Twins power outage!

[Dawgzilla]

Twins stadium power outage is symbolic of their team, no pun intended!  How the ____ don't you have a backup generator for stadium, let alone checked the issue...before fans entered the stadium?!  Yes, I do know that incliment weather is around the area, but still; never heard of this type of thing happening before for such an extended period of time, let alone for first game!  Twins owners need to sell team, otherwise they will lose more monies by disinterested fans not going to games at all!  Period!

My cartoon bubble has Jim Pohlad behind the stadium in his Armani suit with a gas can refilling the generator 😀

During his consecutive game streak Camden Yard would occasionally have "power outages" if Ripken was running late to the stadium 

Not really apropos to conversation. Just reminded me of that

Sure, life saving places and jails.... And not all the lights and outlets are on in those places. A stadium is for entertainment. We're clearly going to disagree. Can you name one stadium set up to play if there is no power?

I'm not, obviously, taking about whole facility, but generators to keep kiosks, wi-fi, ticket/gates open and functioning...oh, and payment aspects so tills/credit card mechanisms work, etc. so customers can still eat/drink until problem is remedied.  You can't have people milling around, no food, no water, no wi-fi, freezing (game was rainy and cold)!!!!  Heck, refund all guests with future game vouchers!  No one will be at later season games anyway; team stinks!!!!!!!

I would 100% have given away free tickets to a future game.....but I'm no third generation billionaire who keeps failing at running businesses....so I'm likely wrong.

You're literally talking about 100's of kiosks, kitchens, heaters, lighting systems, etc. A stadium's load is roughly 5x higher than an average large hospital.
