DALLAS (Reuters) - A group of disgruntled fans who sued the National Football League over a seating fiasco at the 2011 Super Bowl has appealed a $76,000 jury award in the hope of potentially receiving more money, the fans’ attorney said on Tuesday.
A federal jury in March ruled in favor of seven fans who claimed that the NFL breached its ticket contract with them by not having all temporary seats ready in time for the Super Bowl XLV game at the Dallas Cowboys' stadium on Feb. 6, 2011.
The jury sided with the fans on most points and awarded individual amounts ranging from about $5,700 to $22,000.
