Brooklyn car mechanic Dominick Arlistico's plan for Super Bowl
XLVIII was simple: get as close to the game as he could and then miss
it.
On Saturday, Arlistico stood in his Williamsburg repair shop
and described how he and two other dads were going to drive their four
teenaged boys to Met Life Stadium in New Jersey, park in a lot, and then
hang out shooting the breeze while the young bloods enjoyed the
spectacle inside.
"We're trying to sacrifice for our kids," Arlistico explained.
That sacrifice included four game tickets at over $1,000 a pop and a $150 parking spot at the stadium. The only problem Arlistico could see was arriving at the lot with more bodies in the car than tickets in hand, and being turned away or hassled by security. (The NFL had announced that tailgating was forbidden at the game.)
