Cowboys fans not too happy about Steelers playing here for the SB

There’s a lot of pissed off Cowboys fans here trying to cope with the fact that out long time rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the Super Bowl playing here in Dallas at Cowboys Stadium. Which will pretty much make the Packers the favorites to win SB XLV on Sunday Feb 6th? As a true blue Cowboys fan, I’m not too happy about it but it’s just something I just have to accept and watch it.
This will make the Steelers 8th Super Bowl appearance (NFL Record) and already have the record for most SB wins with 6. The Cowboys faced the Steelers 3 times and have a 1-2 record vs. them in SB play. No matter how many years ago we faced them. The Cowboys feel that we should have a winning record and have the most Super Bowls. Plus the fact that hearing talk that the Steelers are now “America’s Team is adding more fuel to the fire.
It’s going to be a long week here in Dallas. As the Steelers are already here and starting to wave the terrible towels. I know as a Cowboys fan, there are a lot of mad, shocked fans here that which this was just a dream and not reality. Only to wish that WE were playing in SB XLV vs. the Steelers. But as usual right now, we have to wait till next year.

Cowboys stadium could reach over 100,000

When Super Bowl 45 starts on Feb. 6th. The capacity could reach over 100,000 for the 1st time in 24 years.

Even though not all the fans will have seats(party passes). Plus, Jerry Jones expects about at least several thousands of fans to by $200 to watch the Super Bowl from the big screen where the outdoor plaza will be. Which those fans will be counted as well.

An estimated 93,000 fans or more should be inside of the stadium and the final numbers wont be determined until closer to the game. The last time the Super Bowl surpassed the 100K mark was in 1987 at the Rose Bowl(103,985) in Pasadena,CA

When the NBA All-Star Game was here, it broke an attendance record of 108,713. The Cowboys already broke the attendance record for a regular-season game drawing 105,121 fans. I expected the Super Bowl to reach close to 110, 000 fans, breaking another attendance record.
