The 2025 Super Bowl returns to New Orleans for the first time since 2013 .

The Baltimore Ravens bested the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in a game that ended extremely close.

The cause of the blackout was uncertain, but was eventually revealed to be an unfortunate failure of an electrical device meant to protect the power supply.

The power outage lasted 34 minutes in the second half during Super Bowl XLVII between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on February 3, 2013 .

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco ( 5 ) waited for the lights to come back on after a power failure in the third quarter .
