The proposed settlement would cover purchases from April 21, 2010, to January 4, 2016, and could be worth up to $25 million, legal filings say. Up to $7 million will go to plaintiffs lawyers for fees and costs. That money does not come from the $25 million. Each of the former fans who filed the original suit gets $5,000.
Plaintiffs lawyers called it “an excellent outcome,” in their motion for preliminary approval, which was granted Monday by St. Louis Circuit Judge Timothy Boyer.
That $25 million represents Rams' estimates of ticket and merchandise sales during that period, said Dan DeFeo, one of the lawyers who worked on the case.
