Relative of First Packers President Among 400 Displaced Ticketholders

Filed under: Packers, Super Bowl

NEW YORK ( AP) -- A granddaughter of the first president of the Green Bay Packers was among the 400 ticketholders forced out of the stands at the Super Bowl because their seats weren't safe.

In a letter sent to the NFL, which she provided to The Associated Press, Peggy Beisel-McIlwaine said Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should never be allowed to host another Super Bowl. She called her experience at Cowboys Stadium a "total disaster."

Beisel-McIlwaine wrote that it took several hours - and miles of walking - before stadium and league officials finally led her and other displaced fans from their upper deck seats to a field level bar area behind the Pittsburgh Steelers bench - with no view of the field.
