Lights at TDECU Stadium briefly go out during UH’s game vs. Southern

The lights at TDECU Stadium briefly went out with less than two minutes left in the first half of Saturday’s game between the University of Houston and Southern.

After a brief delay, game officials opted to continue the game in semi-dark conditions as the sun began to set around 7:32 p.m.

The scoreboard and video ribbons around the stadium continued to function.

Power was restored shortly thereafter. The outage was due to a power surge, per school officials.
