Sunday night's power outage was one of the more surreal moments in Super Bowl history, but it isn't one that will negatively impact New Orleans' chance of hosting the game again in the future.

Super Bowl Power Outage: Lights Go Out At Superdome During Ravens-49ers Super Bowl
NEW ORLEANS — The Super Bowl was halted for 34 minutes because of a power outage Sunday night, plunging parts of the Superdome into darkness and briefly leaving TV viewers of the biggest game of the year with no football and no explanation why. The Baltimore Ravens were leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6 when most of the lights in the 73,000-seat building went out with 13:22 left in the third quarter.

John Harbaugh: "I way overreacted" to power outage | ProFootballTalk
Although Harbaugh didn’t get into specifics about what he was angry about, it appeared that he thought the 49ers were getting an unfair advantage because the power on their sideline wasn’t out, so they were still able to use their sideline-to-booth communications, while the Ravens’ communications system wasn’t working. Under NFL rules, if one team’s communications go out, the other team isn’t supposed to be able to use theirs.
