Super Bowl Attendance Record Within Reach After NFL Decision

If you want to attend Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium but can't get a ticket, the league is giving some fans a chance.

The NFL will sell a $200 ticket to the game, but it comes with a catch. Fans will have to sit on the grass on the East Side of the stadium and watch the game on the huge outside HD TV screens.

"We've never done this before," Brian McCarthy, the NFL's vice president of corporate communications, said Wednesday.

The offer has been extended to Cowboys Club Seat season ticket holders, and must be purchased in blocks of four. Those who purchase the block of tickets receive a free parking pass, four Super Bowl programs and four scarves.

Tickets to get inside the stadium start at $600 and range all the way to $1,900 for the lower level. Ticket brokers' prices are considerably higher.

Capacity for the game is still being determined, McCarthy said. The outside party plaza tickets will count toward the official attendance.

An estimated 93,000 fans will be inside the stadium. The last Super Bowl with more than 100,000 fans was in 1987 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The record of 103,985 was set in 1980, also at the Rose Bowl.

When the Cowboys play home games at Cowboys Stadium, they sell standing room only party plaza tickets -- located in each end zone -- on a first-come, first-served basis. Those tickets were counted among the team's official attendance.

Party plaza tickets for the Super Bowl will not have inside access to the stadium because the NFL is erecting temporary bleacher seating in the party pass areas.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made no secret of his desire to set a Super Bowl record when the stadium opened a year and a half ago, although the issue was out of his hands since the NFL makes all decisions regarding game operations.

Since then, the Cowboys set the NFL record for a regular season game when 105,121 watched the visiting New York Giants play Dallas. A year ago, the NBA All-Star game drew 108,713, the most ever for a basketball game.

Nike Black History Month 2011 Collection

A tradition that began in 1976 and a history dating back centuries upon centuries, Black History Month falls in February of each calendar year – a month long remembrance and celebration of the rich and powerful history of African-Americans. How one celebrates this momentous event differs by individual, and Nike expresses itself in the only way it truly can – by projecting the honor and spirit in its most beloved sneakers past and present. For 2011, the Nike Black History Month Pack pays tribute to three astounding black athletes of our time – Julius Erving, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant. Nike remembers Dr. J for his unifying spirit as his energy and star-status helped combine the NBA and ABA; Michael Jordan for winning his first Slam Dunk title in 1987 and creating a unforgettable photographic memory forever instilled in sports and black history; Kobe Bryant for his astounding 81-point performance in 2006, signifying greatness in an era dominated by team-oriented play.

Brett Favre Faces Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

In the wake of a sex scandal that "tarnished" Brett Favre's 20-year NFL career and cost him a whopping $50,000 fine, two more women have come forward, filing a sexual harassment suit against the star quarterback.

Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, both former massage therapists for theNew York Jets, filed suit against Favre, the New York Jets and Lisa Ripi, a woman who hires massage therapists for the team, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York today.

The New York Jets and the National Football League had no comment on the matter. Requests for comment from Brett Favre's agent and the Minnesota Vikings were not immediately returned.

In the suit, Scavo alleges that Favre sent text messages to another unidentified massage therapist, asking Scavo and the unidentified woman to "get together" with Favre.
