Lights go out at Reliant Stadium (Houston).

Chargers, Texans game, 4th qtr, powere goes out with a delay. They had to open the roof to use natural light to complete the game.
Did someone forget to pay the bill?

2. I wonder why the roof was closed

it's a sunny day here in the 'ol sprawling metropolis of Houston - guess they had it closed so they could run the AC? :wtf:

4. Makes me wonder how they opened the roof without power?

And if they used auxilary power to open the roof, why could they not also use it to power the lights? Far be it for me to try and reason why Texans do things.

6. It figures.

All Houston teams suck by default, and I can say that from experience - I've lived here for 30 years.
With the sole exception of the two NBA championships in the mid-90s, and the Comets during their first few seasons, there has just been a massive amount of choking and suckage from all manner of professional sports here.
I am making the fearless prediction that the Astros will choke (yet again) in the wild card race. It's a tradition.

7. Yep, always the same in Houston...

I got to be at the game the Astros choked away to the Mets in 1986.. :cry: I also watched the Oilers have great seasons only to lose to the Steelers every year. :cry:
