400 fans left without view of Super Bowl after tickets were in violation of fire code

Would you pay to watch the Super Bowl from these seats because 400 fans did last night. In an attempt to break the World Record, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys oversold Super Bowl tickets to the mammoth Cowboys Stadium.The ice storm that hit Dallas last week prevented workers from completing the additional temporary seating brought in for the event. 850 fans were affected after their seats were in violation of the fire code. While fans were found replacement seats, 400 people were left no view of the field. The NFL has promised to reimbursed fans by tripling the face value of their tickets, accommodations and tickets to next year’s Super Bowl… but to some the damage has been done.

Green Bay Packers fan Odett Karam, who flew in from California said: “We don’t want that (money). We just want to get into the game. We just want to see the game.”

Even with the 850 angry fans, it was not enough to break the record. Last night’s Super Bowl attendance was103,219, just short of the 1980 Super Bowl record at the Rose Bowl of 103,985.

Big Ben parties before Super Bowl at piano bar

It seems Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is taking the work hard-play hard approach to the Super Bowl. Big Ben and his teammates were out on the town Tuesday partying at a piano bar in Fort Worth, Texas. The notorious quaterback racked up an $800 bar tab and tipped an additional $200 as him and his teammates sang Billy Joel’s Piano Man.

When asked about his night on the town, Big Ben said: “It was a superstition and tradition on Tuesday night. I take the linemen out to dinner. We went out for barbecue and then we wanted to hear some live music. We just had an enjoyable night.”

Surprisingly, Green Bay Packers quaterback Aaron Rodgers was absent from the festivities.
