Displaced Fans get Super Bowl tix for next year

To some fans, the worst possible thing in the world happened. Their favorite team made it to the super Bowl, they spent thousands of dollars to get the tickets, travel to the stadium...and their seat was no where to be found.

"The 400 people without seats will be "guests of the NFL" at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, commissioner Roger Goodell said on Monday. The fans also received triple the face value of their 2011 tickets, which is $2,400, free merchandise, food and beverages, and were allowed to go on the field at Cowboys Stadium after the game.Two hours before the game, workers were frantically trying to fix the sections or get the fans "relocated to similar or better seats," valued at $800. The NFL found alternate seating for 850 of the 1,250 fans affected."

Although some of these people missed the once in a lifetime opportunity to see their favorite team in the Super Bowl, I do think the NFL did a pretty good job attempting to make up for the mistakes they made.
