Final answer:

The statement about 'People selling tickets illegally' does not align with the other options discussing the Superdome story, as it depicts an illegal exchange process, unlike the orderly or disorderly entry behavior.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that does NOT belong with the others in the context of the Superdome story is People were selling tickets illegally. This is because the other statements: People were trying to get into the Superdome, People were waiting in line for a long time, and People were breaking in line, all relate to the behavior of individuals attempting to gain entry in a chaotic or systematic manner. However, the activity of illegally selling tickets is entirely different and pertains to an illegal exchange process, not the act of waiting or the order in which people enter.

Specifically, every ticket to a college or professional football game specifies a unique combination of a gate number, section number, row, and seat number, which ensures each attendee has a particular place in the stadium. The uniqueness of each seat prevents double-booking and helps maintain order in the seating arrangement, contrasting with the chaotic scenario of people breaking in line. Therefore, illegal ticket sales would not be a part of the process of lining up and gaining legitimate entry to an event, such as those trying to get into the Superdome.
