DURHAM -
The city soon will install emergency lights in the concourse area of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park after a power outage Friday forced thousands to exit the stadium in darkness.A concert Friday by the rock band Modern West with Kevin Costner fronting was cut short by a violent thunderstorm that shut down most of the lights in the 10,000-capacity stadium. Emergency lights in the restrooms, underground tunnels and the seating bowl went on, but there are no such lights in the concourse, said Durham Bulls Vice President George Habel."We've been here 13 years, and we've never had a major power failure like this after sunset," he said.Until the permanent emergency lighting can be installed, Habel has rented generators to light the concourse in the event of another outage.
