Related: About this forum"New Jersey, your Super Bowl sucks!"
SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) Several people have collapsed in an overcrowded New Jersey train station while waiting in long lines to get to the Super Bowl.
Emergency medical workers pushed their way through the overheated crowd to treat the people at Secaucus Junction on Sunday afternoon.
Long lines have come to a standstill in front of airport-style security machines that apparently cannot handle the crowd volume. People were squeezed together in an enclosed stairwell.
As more trains arrived, police tried to thin the sweating, jostling crowd by spreading people across the platform.
Initial fan calls of "Seahawks" and "Broncos" gave way to angry shouts of "New Jersey, your Super Bowl sucks!"

overwhelmed NJ Transit, which can barely handle the morning and evening rushes. Yeah, I spent a couple of years commuting into the city from Jersey (Everytime I passed Ginats Stadium, I thought to myself, FUCK THE GINATS).

and how that they're having a few issues, I'm seeing a lot more people call it "New Jersey's SB".

Seems they got some serious CHEAP going on for the show.
And there were several serious Wardrobe Misjudgments (or lack of wardrobe) from the Chili Peppers.
