Approximately 1,000 fans sued the NFL, the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones on Wednesday saying they were deceived by not getting seats or received inadequate seats for Super Bowl XLV. The federal lawsuit, filed in Dallas, alleges breach of contract, fraud and deceptive sales practices. The NFL has offered money, tickets, merchandise and more to roughly 400 fans who had to give up their seats at the big game. "We think that this is a pretty straightforward matter," said Michael Avenatti of Eagan Avenatti which is representing the fans. "People did not obtain what they were told they were going to get." The lawsuit seeks $5 million in actual damages for the plaintiffs -- but that number can be tripled under the state's trade law -- and unspecified punitive damages.
