t was a glorious night for fans of the Green and Gold...unless, of course, you were one of more than 1,200 ticketholders to get booted from your seats.
Green Bay Packers fan: "We drove from Green Bay, Wisconsin, through bad, bad weather to get here and we can't get in. They're holding them like animals."
The fire marshal deemed 4 sections of temporary seats unsafe, the NFL found new seats for 850 of the fans, but 400 were locked out. All were promised a refund, three times the ticket value, but for some, no price was worth the chance to witness the championship.
Green Bay Packers fan: "But, we have this letter refunding our money back which we don't care about. We just want our seats.
The NFL apologized, telling ABC News: "The safety of fans attending the Super Bowl was paramount in making the decision. We will conduct a full review of this matter."
Those who did make it in Cowboys Stadium were treated to a feast for the eyes, and well...something for the ears...
First up, Christina Aguilera...she flubbed the National Anthem, repeating the same line twice.
Then, there were the Black Eyed Peas...who met with mic problems and odd cameos.
But, the Black Eyed Peas weren't the only celebs caught in an awkward position...
Star gazers also spotted the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, Ashton Kutcher. Even George W. Bush and Laura got in on the action.
But, when the clock ran out, it was clear who the real stars were...
Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers player: "This is a great day to be great baby!"
