Football fans have filed a lawsuit accusing the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys and team owner Jerry Jones of deceiving hundreds of people who bought Super Bowl tickets and had no seats, or got seats they felt were inadequate.


The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Dallas alleges breach of contract, fraud and deceptive sales practices.

It was filed two days after fans were prevented from having seats at Sunday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Cowboys Stadium because of a problem with temporary seats.

One of the plaintiffs is a Cowboys season ticket-holder who said some of Jones’ biggest-spending fans were promised access to Super Bowl tickets and ended up with obstructed views on metal folding chairs.

"The Packers beat the Steelers 31-25 in the Super Bowl. So fuck you. "


Don't know why, just felt that extra little blurb they threw in there was funny.

"The NFL has said the roughly 400 fans without seats have two options. The first is a ticket to next year’s Super Bowl and a cash payment of $2,400, three times the face value of the ticket. The second is a ticket to any future Super Bowl, along with round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations."


Seems fair to me.

Seems fair to me.

Pretty fair, unless they were a Steeler or Packer fan.

Every one of those fans will tell their grandchildren that they were there. Take the money and quit bitching.

You missed the part that says to any future Super Bowl.

It's actually an added change on the original idea set forth by the NFL because they realized that a Super Bowl between two teams isn't the same as a Super Bowl featuring your team.

Speaking of Grandchildren, one of the 400 is the Granddaughter of the first Packer President.

It was 13 years since the Packers were in the SB. Could be that long again.

I don't think they should get more than they deserve, but the NFL and Jerry Jones really did F this one up.

She's gonna be at the league office on Monday. She should have been either in a luxury box or had a field pass at team expense....

But you have to admit, it was an interesting concession beyond "throw money at it until it goes away."

Agreed. The only thing I would say as a final note, none of us know how it would actually feel to make the trip and have this happen. We can imagine it, but not really know.
