Seems as though Skogen was amongst the 1500 fans that had tickets and no seats. A very trying time. But he says every bad opportunity has it 's bright spots. And that opportunity turned out to be 4 tickets....20 rows from the field for the 4. Courtesy of the NFL. Skogen says all in all his family had a great time.....taking in the NFL experience....meeting and taking pictures with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, all that after being stuck in a hotel for 2 days because of snow and ice that fell earlier in the week.
As for the 400 that never watched the game inside Texas Stadium.........the NFL has offered 3 times the face value for their tickets....and free Super Bowl tickets for next year's game at Indianapolis. Let's hope their team makes the big game.

Stop Raiding Fees says HuebschMonday, 07 February 2011 12:40 | Last Updated on Monday, 07 February 2011 12:41 | | |
Money you spend on fees isn’t meant for balancing the budget. While some folks can’t afford the multiplying fees in our state, Department of Administration Secretary Mike Huebsch says most fees are designed with a particular purpose in mind. But one particular fee has been raided over and over.
Huebsch says the entire time Governor Doyle was in office....he raided over $1.3 billion from the transportation fund. Something Huebsch calls a double tax. Huebsch says the revenue collected from those fees should not be transferred to the general fund to plug the budget hole, currently around $3 billion The Rush for Packers Gear is OnMonday, 07 February 2011 12:34 | | |
At six this morning, when the doors of JC Penney in La Crosse's Valley View Mall opened four hours early, shoppers started filing in. Packer fans looking for Super Bowl gear. Sales manager Toni Holter says she wasn't surprised. Not after the rush they had after the NFC championship game. She says it was really the same kind of devoted Packers fans; excited that their team got to the Super Bowl, and way more excited after last night's victory.
Holter says they've sold hundreds of Packers Super Bowl tee-shirts so far today with hundreds more on the way, along with over two thousand of the much-coveted locker room caps.
