(135,425 posts)The bigger, the better. People look forward to it and they like seeing a real "topper" of a production. This has been going on for decades, well before you decided to participate as a spectator. They aren't going to change the paradigm to suit you.
Wow, your bitterness is extraordinary!
The power outage made the event memorable. And the 30 minutes wasn't a "knock out blow to the niners"--it put them back in the game. They were on their ass, losing by double digits, and that delay enabled them to regroup and almost come close enough to overtake the Ravens. The power outage turned a rout of a game, a dull, foregone conclusion, into an exciting contest.
And who has declared that it was the "fault" of the half time show that there was a power problem? I'd say a venue of that size that can't handle a shitload of lighting and pyrotechnics needs refurbishment. That was a short version of a major concert production, it wasn't anything that should have taxed a venue the size of that stadium.
