According to ParkWhiz.com there is a spot available a 10th of a mile from Cowboys Stadium going for $990 at 908 North Collins at Ticketsource.com Parking. To be fair, you would have access to a restroom, on-site security and the ability to tailgate.

The other prices range from $550 at Ballpark Valero Event Parking, which is one-10th of a mile away to $55 at Five Georges Parking, a mile away near Six Flags.

The NFL offers parking -- www.sbxlv.clickandpark.com/superbowl -- at Six Flags for $71.40, plus tax and shipping for those attending the game and will include free shuttle service to the stadium gates. But it does not allow for tailgating.

ARLINGTON — The closer the city gets to hosting Super Bowl XLV, the more expensive parking spaces around the stadium have become.

Some lots across from Cowboys Stadium sold out at $500 to $550 a spot.

The owner says he has a few spaces in that same lot, but they are listed on the Internet for $990 each starting Wednesday.

Hank Wendorf owns the parking lot and is also a ticket broker. He says the cost of seats is also soaring.

"It's about $2,600 to $2,700 right now to get into the game for an upper level seat," Wendorf said, noting that the market has driven up ticket prices 20 to 30 percent in the last week alone.

Center Point Church, located 1.2 miles down Collins Street, has canceled services on Super Bowl Sunday due to the expectation of increased traffic. The church will subsidize missed tithes by selling parking spots for $82.50 each.

Wow, that crazy. :ohmy

I can't believe the church canceled services. They only have two services, one at 10:30 and the other at 1:15 (Spanish service). Seems like they could have moved them up earlier, and still raised money. Instead, they're only concerned with subsidizing missed tithes? That's crazy to me. Kind of reminds me of a parable about money changing in the temple...

I couldn't do it. Im the kind a person who prefers to watch games on TV anyways. I love seeing it live but watching it at home is how ive always done it. Free food and more comfortable. Im just weird like that lol

You can sent $2700 to get a seat and watch it on the JerryTron

I mean i prefer to watch games in the solitude of my own home. If i go to a stadium, then i'd prefer to watch it live lmao

I am starting to lean toward having one of the two Super Bowl participants hosting the game each year. The team with the best record, or have a rotating conference schedule. Since there is 2 weeks between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl, I don't think that it's that much of a logistical nightmare.

Frankly, the game might benefit from not having some sterile game environments. Some of those domed games without a home team are just flat out boring. Plus, at least some of those teams not based in a warm climate or privy to a domed stadium might get to host a big game. Anyone?

I wonder what the fine would be for a parking ticket? Maybe it'd be better to park illegally.

It will never happen.

The Super Bowl site is not just for a game on Sunday. It is now the Pro Bowl site, a site for media from around the world to congregate, a site that has activities for two weeks straight, the site of concerts before and during the game, and of course the game itself.

It needs to be a place that is set years in advance, like it is now. And it should be in a place that is warm, or a least in a dome, because of all the outdoors events around the game.

Besides for the Olympics or maybe the World Cup, there is no greater sports spectacle than the Super Bowl. It needs all the advance planning it can get.

Hmm, lets see how the 2014 Super Bowl is at the Meadowlands, If you get a team like the Pats, Jets or Giants hosting it in a blizzard people might not like it much.

I disagree. The World Series plays up to 7 games split between both teams and I think it is great. The Super Bowl would be one game at one stadium. I know the NFL will not do it, but I would love it!

Football is an all weather sport, regardless of the domes. It would be a sellout in a blizzard if it was held at one of the participating team's stadiums, after all, it is the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl isn't just about the game though. The cities put a lot of money into bringing in the Super Bowl and they make it all back and then some with all the activities leading up to the game itself. If there is a blizzard the week leading up to the game then that city, and the NFL as an entity, suffers greatly.

I understand why you would want it as a fan, but why would the league want to do it? Where is the incentive for them? Remember, first and foremost, the NFL is a business out to make money.

[TITAN 1]

That's all I'm doing, speaking as a fan. Like I said earlier, the NFL will never do it.

[Titanico]

Super Bowl = super expensive prices

[BoroTitan]

Oh I'm not doubting it wouldn't be a sell out. The only reason NY was granted was due to a one time provision.
With the week the NFL makes of it, it goes beyond just the game.
