First, if it’s true, as reported, that the NFL knew about this problem a week in advance of the game, why didn’t they notify the ticketholders, make the offers to them (reimbursement x 3 and free tickets to next year’s game) and save them the expense and hassle of traveling / lodging / dining? If they didn’t know who owned the tickets, they could have made a public announcement with the locations of the affected seats in news publications. It’s one thing to encounter the safety issue, but not notifying the people in advance (or at least trying to do so) is highly inconsiderate and worthy of all troubles that, hopefully, will beset them in the near future.

Secondly, if Goodell or jerk face Jones were ever presented with a similar situation that affected them in this manner, you can be sure that they would fill the sky with lawyers immediately and begin suing the responsible parties. After all, they are royalty, aren’t they? Therefore, they should expect the same actions by the offended parties.

I’d love to see them all lose some bucks for this fiasco. But, I’m sure in the end, it will be ruled in their favor.

I am NOT making this up – I just thought you all could use a good laugh.

my work here is done

The jumbotron gets in the way of punts, they apparently had a separate broadcast on the screen that was loud and annoying as if the game wasn’t loud enough, and the surface stinks and guys were slipping left and right.

You need to look at the good as well as the bad.

Getting 3x the ticket price back when you probably paid 3x the ticekt price, who cares, getting a ticekt to see 2 different teams next year you don’t care about, who cares.

Getting a trip to a superbowl of your choice is interesting, but waiting for that one shot again after you could have seen it already would be terrible.

As a Patriots fan I can recall how Roger “The Dodger” Goodell blasted Bill Belichick for not coming right out with a full disclosure about the teams involvement in Spygate. (It was deserved punishment before the bashers get going!!!) How is this any different? Goodell, the NFL and the Cowboys organization have not come out and made a full diclosure about these events and if not the public they owe these people who spent in some cases probable a substantial sum of money to attend the game. Why did it happen? Who is to blame? Someone needs to take care of these fans. He is a disgrace and with all that has gone on this year alone he should be fired. He takes the fans of this game for granted and whilst we are all culpable for that it is extremely shoddy business to say the least.

What a bunch of crybabies. If you’re so upset at Goodell and think the NFL is so evil, quit watching it, quit buying tickets and take a principled stand against the greedy League. Four-hundred people had a bad time, yes, that sucks, but the end of the world it ain’t.

Last I checked, no matter how crappy Dallas was as a host city, it was a great game – that’s all fans can and should hope for.

Well what the hell did he expect? Did he think he was going to be standing side by side with the Packers as they accepted the Lombardi Trophy? Maybe stand up on the podium with Aaron Rodgers when they announced him as MVP?? Or maybe he could have stood next to Mike McCarthy and helped him coach a little bit during the game?

Dude, be grateful you even got on the field AT ALL. That doesn’t happen often.

“The bartender, at his own discretion, gave a few of us some free drinks because he felt bad for us. But at halftime, the bartender said, ‘The tab is closed, you have to buy drinks now.”’

Ohhh poor baby. You had to BUY your own drinks?!? Oh no! How dare they!!

Listen, this was an unfortunate accident, but it happened. And IMO they NFL made the best of a terrible situation. So… take your $3K, your free merchandise, the free drinks you got, your very rare opportunity to even step foot on a SB field, and most importantly your SB Tix for next year and STFU!

I read that the NFL is giving each displaced fan a free 1-year subscription to ProFootballTalk and a copy of ‘Quarterback of the Future’ autographed by Jerrod Johnson.
