Actually, what I heard, was that temporary seat people were basically given SRO status and remained inside.
However, far beit from me to argue with anyone who says, "Fuck you, Jerry Jones".

Congrats to the Packers, great season and great Super Bowl.
I can't help but wonder "what if" though. Pittsburgh had their chances, but it was the Steelers who made the crucial mistakes.
Jordy Nelson should have been MVP
Jordy Nelson was MVP for the Steelers. IF he (and the other Packers receivers) catch those balls (that hit them in the hands and/or chest) Rodgers finishes with 400+ yards and 5 TDs as Green Bay cruises.
The Steelers did themselves in with turnovers and some dumb penalties. Jordy Nelson and co. kept it close.
I find it very funny that in Jerry Jones attempt to set a Super Bowl attendance record, he pisses off several hundred fans that had to be moved, AND he didn't set the attendance record. He barely missed it due to the displaced fans

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/08/sp...hoden-nfl.htmlThe National Football League knew of a potential Super Bowl XLV seating fiasco by the middle of last week, league executives said Monday.
But the NFL didn’t alert fans to complications with temporary seating at Cowboys Stadium, the executives said, because they felt they had “a very good shot” at getting the problems fixed and because they didn’t know who exactly might be affected.
“We made a judgment that it was the right course of action to bring the fans in, rather than to discourage them or create a sense that they wouldn’t have the information necessary,” said Eric Grubman, the NFL’s executive vice president of business ventures.
Goodell took pains to point out that the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was not responsible for the fiasco.
“We put on this event,” Goodell said. “This is a responsibility of the N.F.L.”

Can't say I'm shocked. Although I did hear the NFL is making it so the ticket is good for ANY future Super Bowl and not limited to the game in Indy now.
