More than 10,000 people passed through the doors of the Emirates Arena during its opening weekend.
They included around 5000 basketball fans who watched Glasgow Rocks' first home match yesterday against Newcastle Eagles.
However, the lights went out during the match, which ended in a 106-84 win for the away side. A Glasgow Life spokesman said power was restored within 10 minutes and investigations were under way to establish the cause of the fault.
