Super Bowl: Green Bay is Tougher Than Steel, Black Eyed Peas Are Not

Feb. 7, 2011 — -- It was a glorious night for fans of the green and gold-- unless you were one of more than 1200 ticketholders to get booted from your seats.

"We drove from Green Bay, Wisconsin, through bad, bad weather to get here and we can't get in. They're holding them like animals outside of that gate. Like cows," said one female ticketholder.

The fire marshal deemed four sections of temporary seating unsafe. The NFL found new seats for 850 of the fans, but 400 were locked out. All were promised a refund of three times the ticket value, but for some no price was worth the chance to witness the championship.

"But we have this letter refunding our money back which we don't care about. We just want our seats," said another ticket holder.

The NFL apologized, saying "The safety of fans attending the Super Bowl was paramount in making the decision...We will conduct a full review of this matter."

Those watching the game on television got to enjoy several advertisements. In fact, a third of people said they waited until the commercials were over to take a bathroom break.
