NEW ORLEANS — Stadium lights went out for more than 35 minutes during the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans Sunday. Naturally, everyone took to Twitter with their best jokes. Here’s just a smattering of what people had to say about the unfortunate delay:
Leave the lights off. Turn the Superdome into Thunderdome. Two teams enter. One team leaves. #superbowl—

Wouldn't it be funny if we find out this power outage is just one big Duracell battery commercial. #superbowl—
