The cause of the fire was not immediately known and attendees said flames appeared out of nowhere.
"I don’t know what caused it [because] as I was walking out it wasn’t or didn’t seem to be burning - didn’t notice it until [I] was walking down near the hotels just south of the bowl," @ScotyAppleseed told Fox News Digital, adding that "someone said it was near the tunnel so apparently across the street."
