Like he has control of the weather. But this winter and Super Bowl will be a wake-up call to the NFL about hosting the Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium in New York in February.

No, but he won't be "hosting" an NFC championship any time soon either.....slam.

Wake up call is right ....on how not to do it!!! The Game in NY 2014 people already know it will be an "OUTDOOR EVENT" and be prepared!Also I doubt the Giants will try to jack #'s up with outdoor tickets to watch on TV's out side the stadium,any and ALL Cowboy fans should be embarrassed with the way Jery Jones produce that thing......thank God the game was good.

LOL @ Jerrah

I have to say, from a pure "I hate Dallas" standpoint, this season & SB was everything one could ask for. Far from Dallas playing a home SB as was the full court press in Spring of last year, they started 1-6, and then even the SB was a mess; ice and snow, seating not completed (although Cowboy fans will say that's the NFL's fault, not Jerrah's), falling short of the attendance record, and Pittsburgh/Packers playing in the game (only an NFC East opponent would have been more upsetting to them, maybe SF). Honestly, this season was pure misery for the Cowboys and JJ.

I'm Lovin' it!

Just put yourself in their shoes. I woulda killed someone, literally killed. Just the excitment alone of the thought I was attending a Redskins superbowl would be simply be incredible and then to be told my seats were un-sit-able. I doubt I could control myself and I am moderately laid back person. Livid...someone may have died if that was me, I woulda had to do alot of apologizing the today, ohhh and I woulda been probably 8-10 Laganitis IPAs deep. An arrest woulda been made.

I honestly can't believe people paid to watch the game from the parking lot. Talk about milking an event for all it's worth.

That was f'ing insane. I wonder if those people were locals...I hope so, it'd be reaaaaally stupid for someone to travel to Texas just to watch the SB in a jumbotron.

How much did they charge for those premium parking lot tickets?

[CRedskinsRule]

I believe it was $200 a pop...

$200 bucks a ticket? I'd rather spend 200 dollars worth of food and drink, and watch the game comfortably in my house.
