They asked the basic question, "how can we (Cowboy personnel) accommodate and handle 80-90 thousand every weekend and not be competant to handle the visitors for the Super Bowl?" The NFL took over the entire process and left their people out, the security people were largely unpaid volunteers, not the normal professionals, even Jerry and his VIP's had to wait 45 minutes to get into the stadium as all the club and suites entrances were closed and everyone had to got through general admission entrances. The security perimeter around the stadium was so wide--distant from the stadium, that people attempting to get into the stadium, sometimes had to walk almost a mile just to get in the proper entrance. Half of the people were standing in mud for over an hour just trying to get in. Obviously, they don't feel responsible, simply embarased and feel the NFL and its organization should be held acccountable. The NFL people are still in the stadium attempting to restore it to "original condition". What they discribed was a nightmare of damages caused by ignoring the agreements by the NFL people.
Never been a big Cowboy fan, but I do know these people and believe what they are saying.
