it seems like a lot of you don’t understand what is going on here.
which is understandable, given the cloudy way this article was written.

The judge basically said “Dallas isnt liable in the class action suit. The fault lays at the hands of the NFL, theyre the ones who were in charge of all of this, the ones who made the mistakes.” Which is exactly what JJ said all along. I believe even the NFL said as much, but I could be mistaken in that. Its not like, just because its your stadium thats hosting the superbowl, you get to do what you want and make all decisions in regards to capacity/seating/etc. The NFL controls all of that.

The fans have every right to sue the NFL for the mixups. However, the fans got greedy, and in an effort to squueze everything they could out if the NFL, they sued everyone. The judge said “Dallas is exempt”.

Dallas said “hey, cool. but since these greedy people caused us a lot of time and almost $200,000 in legal fees, we’re trying to recapture this.”

Imagine if you owned a restaurant, that took part in a community event, say a fundraiser for charity. The charity says “make 50,000 hamburgers bc we estimate everyone will have two burgers”. So you do. And then the charity sold more tickets than actaual hamburgers exist. Its not your fault, the charity said do X, then the charity does Y.
People sue, the charity tries to make good, but the people say, this isnt enough. Eff it, were suing everyone involved, even the food vendor.

The judge says, BS, the vendor followed direction from the charity, the charity is at fault, NOT the vendor.

Would you at that point say “hey. screw it. All the time and money I wasted on my defense, I’m just glad I spent 200,000 instead of 10 million. boy am I lucky!”

Hell no. You go after the people who wasted your time and money.

That being said, its still not the best move on Dallas’ part.
