    Temporary sections will not be ready for Super Bowl XLV Sunday night, meaning some fans may not get into the game, reports Pro Football Talk. The NFL sent out a statement in the press box at Cowboys stadium. "There are a limited number of sections in temporary seating areas inside the stadium that have not been fully completed," the statement reads. "We are working to resolve the matter and expect that by game time most of the fans affected will have been accommodated in their seats or relocated to similar or better seats. Those fans that are affected by this will be directed to the Party Plaza area while the matter is resolved." The statement also said that fans who will not get seats will receive triple the cost of the face value. "We regret the situation," the statement concluded. Safe to say, this would be a huge black eye for the league if some fans do not get in.

  3. 6,000 to 9,000 fans won't be allowed in because of the seating issue.

    The Cowboys issued a statement regarding the situation:

    NFL is actually offering x3 as much back on tickets. However, they are getting tickets to the "Hospitality" area....whatever the hell that is.

    Just saw that only 400 people won't get reseated. Those that don't will receive $2700 for their refund.
