No Packers cheerleaders for Super Bowl

GREEN BAY - Some say it wouldn't be a football game at Cowboys Stadium without cheerleaders, but that is exactly what it will be on Super Bowl Sunday.
“We put a lot of work and effort into the season so to hear we couldn't travel with them to the Super Bowl, it was pretty devastating,” said Gabrielle Engel, a junior on UW-Green Bay’s cheer squad.
The Packers have UW-Green Bay and St. Norbert cheer squads at Lambeau home games. The team says while it appreciates what they bring to the Lambeau Field experience, they are not part of the road plan.
No pom-poms. No ultra-bright smiles. No revealing outfits. No big hair. No sexy gyrations. No gratuitous camera shots.
That's right, for the first time in Super Bowl history there won't be any cheerleaders on the sidelines.
Considering that Sunday's game will be played in Texas, the very place where famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders strut their stuff, this all seems, well, blasphemous.

Super Bowl 45 in 2011 will go down in history as the Super Bowl without cheerleaders. The Super Bowl is being held in Cowboys Stadium, a place where cheerleaders have been made famous, what is up with the ban on cheerleaders this Sunday‘s Super Bowl?

No ban, it is just that the two teams playing are two of the six teams in the NFL that do not have cheerleaders. This will be the first Super Bowl without cheerleaders since Super Bowl II, according to NFL Films President Steve Sabol, from an article in USA Today.
