Or, rather, without a view of any of the catches. $200 is the price that Cowboy Stadium is charging football fans to stand outside. That’s $200 to stare at a TV screen in the plaza outside the east side of the stadium for the duration of the game.
“Several thousands” are expected to watch the game that way, which may well put the total game attendance (the stadium itself holds 93,000) at over 100,000–a number the Super Bowl hasn’t hit since the game was held at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Stadium in 1987. That stadium also holds the record for highest Super Bowl attendance–103,985 in 1980.
Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL, confirmed with the Associated Press that the set up was a first time event for the Super Bowl. Let’s just hope they can see the commercials from there.
