Not sure if you heard, but on Thursday we got an email at work:No personnel allowed in stadium effective immediately.
So of course now you are curious right?
Well we look outside, and the giant light pole for our stadium broke off it's foundation and landed on the bleachers--fortunately no one was there or hurt!
These poles are only about 4 years old because the stadium was just rebuilt.
Turns out the manufacturers had a recall called out Aug. 25, because 9 had fallen down all over the country. I hear they are out of business...and we're out of lights for our stadium...(they had to take any that looked dangerous) For the news article click here.
The first picture up on top: This is the back of the bleachers, the pole was on this side--snapped, and fell over to the front of the bleachers!
Towing away our lights...
All lined up.
