Jones takes blame for seat fiasco
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (AP) – Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has shared responsibility with the NFL for the Super Bowl seating fiasco at Cowboys Stadium.
Just hours before the Green Bay Packers played Pittsburgh Steelers, the league announced that 1,250 temporary seats were deemed unsafe and moved 850 people to new seats. Still, 400 fans were forced to watch the game from standing-room-only locations around the stadium.
Jones told ESPNDallas.com on Friday that he would look at ways to improve seating issues and the way they are handled.
The seating issue combined with cold, icy weather took some of the shine off the event, but Jones says he was still proud of the North Texas Super Bowl committee’s efforts.
