I guess the safety of themselves and the other 800 or so doesn't seem to be a big deal to them.

Default Superbowl week has been an epic disaster for DFW.

Our snow and ice storm may have been "epic" but by Indianapolis, Detroit, and Minneapolis standards it was pretty run-of-the-mill and we were thoroughly unprepared for it. Add in people getting injured by falling ice, a stadium that wasn't ready for gameday, and a roof that leaked during the game and I doubt the Superbowl comes back to Jerryworld for a LONG time.

So it's the spectators' fault that the people in charge couldn't get their seats properly secured? There were some things that couldn't be helped, but this was just an embarassment to DFW.

Jerry tried to add as many seats as he could--they just did not have good oversight--
like many aspects of this week
but the seats are just par for the course--promise whatever and don't produce--and nothing happens in consequence
at least they are getting the price of the tickets back--aren't they--or were they some of the other standing room only masses

Doesn't he mean Arlington?

Not hearing so much from the The Super Bowl is in Arlington not Dallas people anymore.

Price of the tickets back (actually three times the price), only if they bought it from the NFL. Most bought them from brokers, so they are still losing money with whatever they get from the NFL. Along with $800 parking spaces. Arlington really needs transit but it's never happening...
