More than two dozen people were arrested and tens of millions of dollars worth of counterfeit NFL tickets and merchandise was seized since last year's Super Bowl, officials said.
The arrests and seizures were the product of a joint operation between the Department of Justice, the FBI, U.S. Customs and Border Control and the NFL called "Operation Team Player," WTOL 11 reported.
