30-year-old independent journalist Matthew Mills from Brooklyn was trying to get close to MetLife Stadium so he could conduct some fan interviews. When he saw an employee bus at Secaucus Junction he hopped aboard, wearing an old rectangular badge from a festival he once covered.

Whenever security tried to see his credentials he would flash his fake badge and claim he was in a hurry. "I just said I was running late for work and I had to get in there," Mills said. "It was that simple."

He eventually made it past all the layers of Super Bowl security and onto the field itself. "I didn't think that I'd get that far," Mills said. "I just kept getting closer and closer. Once I got past the final gate and into the stadium, I was dumbfounded."

After the game, Mills walked into the media tent where players and coaches were doing post-game interviews.

Mills walked up to the microphone in front of MVP Malcom Smith, who was talking to reporters. Mills grabbed the microphone and said: "Investigate 9/11. 9/11 was perpetrated by people within our own government," and walked off. "I just saw my opportunity to get my word out there and I took it," Mills said.

Mills is a part of WeAreChange, an organization with the goal of "confronting prominent and powerful people with the tough questions the mainstream media doesn't want to ask."

Mills was able to get his message out to a national audience without either a press pass or a ticket as ESPN and other outlets showed the press conference live. Since Mills left the area without a struggle, he was charged with trespassing and was released a few hours later on his own recognizance.

An NFL spokesman has deferred all questions to the New Jersey State Police.
