EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — The Indianapolis Colts seem to have found a new fan.

The mayor of East Rutherford, the town where the Super Bowl is being played, is going to the big game thanks to the team’s owner.

Mayor James Cassella has complained that the NFL has been treating the Super Bowl like a New York event and mentioned that he had not even been invited to the game, that is until now.
