NFL Bringing 246 Fans To Super Bowl After Dallas Seating Fiasco

NFL VP/Communications Brian McCarthy said that of the "approximately 3,200 fans whose Super Bowl XLV experience was marred by a temporary seating fiasco last year in Dallas, 246 of them took the NFL up on their offer and are heading to Indy" as guests of the league. A "few factors could play into reasoning" why less than 10% of those affected took the NFL's offer. Most of the fans "were likely fans of the two teams" in Super Bowl XLV: the Packers and Steelers. Also, the next two host cities (New Orleans in '13 and N.Y./N.J. in '14) "will likely offer a bit of a more attractive feel than Indianapolis" (INDYSTAR.com, 1/27).
