NFL knew last week Super Bowl seats might be unusable, but who's to blame? | Super Bowl XLV News - Sports News for Dallas, Texas - SportsDayDFW

I have to respectfully disagree with this. Of course a local newspaper is helping to do some damage control for Jerry.
I manage an arena and I have local fire marshall approval for all of the extra seating options in my arena. In the odd chance there is a set up that we had not thought of and do not have Fire Marshall approval, Rule #1 in any arena, DO NOT sell any tickets until AFTER Fire Marshall signs off on the drawings of the proposed extra seating layout. That is Stadium Management 101 stuff, bush league.
Plus the the people that run the stadium are on first name basis with local Fire Marshalls, not the NFL. The arena management should have had approval months ago.
You throw in the major blunder of not building a motorized height adjustable center screen that is the biggest in creation and you have some major/expensive blunders at that building. Someone is going to lose their job.

I heard on ESPN NFL show today that in the negotiations NFL with players union, the owners are complaining about increased operating costs. When the NFL pays $500,000 to have the F16's do a fly by during the terribly performed national anthem, where the roof is closed and couldn't see the planes. You have to question the NFL leadership as well. So much money is flushed down the toilet.
