  • Your Super Bowl seat is in the basement!



    Six + hours standing in line and then they lock you in the basement! I'd be livid!

    Congrats to Jerry and The NFL on what should be your first and last Super Bowl.

    After a limited number of sections in temporary seating areas at Cowboys Stadium were not completed in time, 400 fans were left without seats at Super Bowl XLV on Sunday.

      When did Jerry Jones know he was hosting a Super Bowl?
      why were they still installing seats today?

      And it sounds like they only erected them temporary seats was so Jerry Jones could claim the highest Super Bowl attendance.

      Im glad to hear he didnt set the attendance record

        Colossal train wreck this Super Bowl was... Set the bar so low, Green Bay could top it.

        The only thing that would have made it better is if the Jumbotrons didn't work...

            I'll give Jerry just the slightest break on this one. Every single thing done to the stadium was with NFL approval. Jerry may have had a hand in it to try for largest attendance, but this goof lies squarely on NFL.

              You watch, next year LOS will only have two weeks to get ready after hosting the AFC Championship game, and we'll still have it ready...

                Yes, after the Texans beat the Colts.

                I took issue with you in the other thread fro blaming DFW for the weather. North Texas the best they could. But I agree with you on this one. Jerry and the NFL blew it big time on this issue. Part of it was Jerry's Greed to have the most people ever to watch the Super Bowl. Jerry, Cowboys Stadium, and the NFL dropped the ball. Hopefully, the NFL will look to Houston next time the Super Bowl is to be in the Great Lone Star State.

                October will always be a sad racing month for me. RIP Greg and Dan. You both were great and we miss you.

                  Well it wasn't soooo bad for the 400 fan without seats....

                  Those 400 fans got to go on the field after the game, received free merchandise, food, beveragem $2,400 and free SB 46 tickets....

                  Not too shabby.

                    Feel sorry for the fans, but any malfunction for Jerry and his Douchedome makes me laugh.

                    Long live the Cotton Bowl!

                      And it appears that they had the choice to stand and watch.

                          And to add insult to injury, the attendance yesterday fell about 600 short of the Super Bowl attendance record held by the Rose Bowl. Sorry Jerry.

                            NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL will shoulder the blame for the Super Bowl XLV ticket confusion Sunday that left 400 ticket holders without seats and 850 others displaced.
                            "We are going to work with them and we are going to do better in the future," Goodell said, according to the Post. "We will certainly do a thorough review and get to the bottom of why it all occurred, but we take full responsibility for that as putting on this game."
                            At least Roger is being a standup guy and acknowledging NFL culapability for this. And I will say the NFL seems to be trying to do something for those displaced.
                            NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted Monday morning that the 400 fans who weren't relocated will receive free Super Bowl XLVI tickets. Additionally those fans went on the field postgame, got free merchandise, food and beverages and were paid $2,400 for their unused ticket, an amount thee times its face value.

                              If I'm a Packer fan and I spent $3000 each on the trip, what do I care if I get to watch IND vs. ATL next year?
