Super Bowl 2014: NFL says game program cover shows off Jersey City

See that red circled speck in the background of the Super Bowl game program cover? As some eagle-eyed readers noted, that's Jersey City. And according to the NFL, that's part of the reason both New Jersey and New York are covered (we didn't agree earlier on Monday). Here's what a league spokesperson told us about the photo that will be featured:

"The cover says New York/New Jersey at the bottom of the photo. The photo, taken at the top of Rockefeller Center, includes Jersey City. It shows part of the NYC skyline looking across the Hudson River (which borders both NJ and NYC) to Jersey City, where both Super Bowl teams are staying. The Super Bowl logo is a reverse view. It is the stadium in New Jersey with elements of the NYC skyline in the background."

It also happens to be the photo used on Super Bowl tickets, as the NFL's Brian McCarthy tweeted on Monday:

Also note what Giants owner John Mara said before the cover was released, via The Star-Ledger's Dave Hutchinson: "[New York and New Jersey] cooperated with each other very nicely. Certainly, making sure New Jersey doesn't get left in the cold is a challenge for us. We certainly want the state of New Jersey to feel like they?re a huge part of this game because they are."

Readers: Do you still think it's a Super Snub?
