NFL commissioner Roger Goodell: 'We take full responsibility' for Super Bowl ticket problems

 NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL will shoulder the blame for the Super Bowl XLV ticket confusion Sunday that left 400 ticket holders without seats and 850 others displaced.

"Any time you're putting on an event of this magnitude, you have your challenges," Goodell said, according to The Washington Post, in a Monday morning press conference. "We've had them this week. We had an issue yesterday with several seats for our fans. It's something that we have been taking very seriously, working at it. We apologize to those fans that were impacted by this."
