400 fans couldn't watch the Superbowl because they didn't have seats for them, and others were moved into different seats (ones they didn't pay for).

400 fans had no seats, and 850 other fans had to move seats.

3. How, at the time, did the NFL handle the situation?

The 400 fans who didn't have seats were able to sit in the Cowboys Stadium on Sunday to watch the game in standing-room areas or on monitors in a club level.

4. What is the NFL doing now to re-pay the people who were affected?

 They promised the 400 people without seats  tickets to the Superbowl next year, and the 850 who had to moves seats were promised to refund 3x the face value of the tickets.

5. How might this event affect the NFL’s public image? In other words, how might people or organizations view the NFL after this incident?

 Some people will probably view the NFL as irresponsible. They had such a big event and they should have planned ahead and gave themselves more time to set up the seats. It is possible that some of the people won't buy tickets to the Superbowl again because of this incident.
