Displaced Fans Seeking Lost Income

Nov 27, 2014 6:16 AM

Super Bowl ticket-holders displaced during the seating fiasco at Cowboys Stadium in February said in a court filing they should be compensated for lost income on top of the other expenses they incurred. Ticket holders who lost their seats or had obstructed views "at a very minimum" should be paid for lost income suffered as a result of traveling to suburban Arlington. The lawsuit was filed after 1,250 temporary seats were declared unsafe just hours before the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. It says 475 ticket holders were forced to watch from standing-room locations while others were relocated.

Eagles, Cowboys, Ravens Are Favorites For Asomugha

Aug 12, 2014 11:04 PM

The Eagles, Cowboys and Ravens appear to be the favorites to land free-agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha once free agency begins. Free agency has been delayed by the NFL lockout, but Asomugha is expected to command top dollar and tons of attention once a labor agreement is reached. Peter Kings of Sports Illustrated labeled Asomugha as the best defensive free agent since Deion Sanders.

"I talked to a player who was contemplating retirement, but the lockout has gotten his body back to where it needs to be," Williams said. "For us older players, it's good."

Blackwood said the lawsuit is on hold while Bryant's attorney is in special session in Austin.

After a rough offseason, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant says he's ready for the upcoming NFL season. "There will be an NFL season and I think we will start on time," Bryant said.
