HONOLULU -- Lawyers in Hawaii filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of fans who couldn't go to a canceled U.S. women's soccer team game.
Fans flew to Oahu from the mainland and neighbor islands to watch the exhibition game that was abruptly canceled last weekend, said Brandee Faria, managing member at law firm Perkin & Faria. One plaintiff from Los Angeles spent $1,000 on airfare, hotel and parking expenses, she said.
"There's a lot of people, both from outer islands and from the mainland, that traveled here specifically for that," Faria said.
Game tickets are being refunded to the 16,000 fans who planned to go, but other expenses are not being refunded.
