Displaced fans. What should the NFL do?

If you were one of the 400 fans that got screwed, what would you want? No amount of money would be good enough for me.

The only solution that would satisfy me, is if they demolished the stadium in Dallas and deported Jerry Jones from the country.

If I was a Packers fan, I'd be extremely pissed off and my "demands" would be greatly exaggerated. I'd want them to fly me to every single game the Packers play in the upcoming season, preseason, regular season and playoffs and pay for it all.

If I was just a fan of the NFL, I'd be cool with the 3x refund and ticket to next years Super Bowl.

The NFL is going to see litigation on this activity.. and if it is true they knew about this issue last week and gambled.. they will be dealt some hefty losses in any suit.

They should not have sold the tickets if they weren't 100% convinced that they would have the seats to fill.

This is far from over with 3x the money and tickets next season.

Wait, I change my demands. I would demand a Super Bowl XLVI ticket and the NFL does everything in it's power and then some to ensure the Packers reach said game. :)

Edit, oh and buy me out of my commitment with my current job and relocate me back in Green Bay, WI with a job of equal salary. 🙂

Hell, I wouldn't even ask for the triple refund. Just a ticket to the next Super Bowl, as well as hotel and airfare paid for.

How do airlines get away with overbooking flights?

For the same reasons hotels get by with doing the same thing. There's a certain statistically well-defined percentage of patrons who fail to show up for flights or hotel stays (I don't remember the exact numbers), so airlines and hotels try to overbook by approximately that percentage. More often than not, it isn't an issue, but sometimes unforeseen circumstances arise and they're faced with a dilemma.

It's all about playing the odds.

The league/stadium is clearly at fault here, since they knew ahead of time that the section might not be ready. They gambled and lost. It's to their credit, actually, that they admitted their mistake rather than risk anyone's safety.

I think the triple refund and ticket to SB XLVI is compensation enough. If any of those fans don't want to see it, they could easily sell the tickets at a H-U-G-E profit...

My "pain, suffering, and emotional distress" would probably be compensated for by lifetime all-first-class-expenses-paid-for trips to every future Super Bowl.

Maybe.

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
