I think the NFL has been doing a good job of making up for the mistake, but they should have offered to cover travel expenses and other costs. However, $5 million? That's just greedy, and a classic example of the "sue first, ask questions later" mentality.
It would suck to go through all that time, trouble and expense just to watch the game on TV in the stadium!?
Yes, the NFL is trying to make up for it, and they do seem like pretty sweet deals, but I think they can afford a bit more to cover not just the refund of the tix but also travel and hotel expenses too and tix to a future SB would probably make everyone happy.
I don't think the NFL is being smart in any way about this.
First with the botched seats and now trying to make up for it.
If I was a screwed fan, I would want to be compensated for the money I spent this year.
It looks like the fans who are suing could win with the NFL changing things. Looks like they are hoping the fans will take an offer and drop the lawsuit.
Maybe they will settle out of court.
Be interesting to see what happens.
