As as Packer fan I would like to think that the fan cost the Packers the game by breaking their rythym in those last few moments, but I am a realist.
Update security? yes, but announce the fine for going on the field to be $30,000 and it may keep these idiots (at least the idiots looking for face time) from going on the field.
It would be my bet that he got the section he was in to pony up the money it would take to pay the fine. A lot easier to put up $100 for a buddy pulling this off than being asked to drop $1000.

"That did slow it down and give us a chance to huddle, and we kind of came together as a defense," linebacker Brian Simmons said. "But you don't want to see that because somebody could get hurt."
Favre was sacked on the next play, and was under heavy pressure as he threw his last pass from beyond the line of scrimmage, an illegal completion that came up short, anyway.
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis acknowledged that the security delay changed the momentum.
If I read correctly, the Packers had just gotten a huge pass interference penalty and the Bengal D was in disarray. I'm suprised no penalty was called. I suspect in Cleveland there would have been an unsportsmanlike conduct call, giving the Packers 15 more and stopping the clock. We're "lucky" that way. :P
