INTRODUCTION
Super Bowl XLV took place February 6, 2011 between the
Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers at Cowboys Stadium
in Arlington, Texas.1 Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner,
was hoping to break the all-time Super Bowl attendance record at
that event.2 (The Dallas Cowboys are the operators of Cowboys
Stadium, which is in turn owned by the City of Arlington).3
Cowboys Stadium has a normal capacity of 80,000 people, although
the capacity expands to 110,000, when including temporarily
installed seating accommodations as well as standing only Party
Passes.4, 5
The seating problems at Cowboys Stadium started a week
before the Super Bowl when a snow storm hit the Dallas-Fort
Worth area that damaged the east end of the stadium, including
the East Plaza.6 Over 3,000 tickets were sold to watch the game
in the East Plaza of Cowboys Stadium. The ticketholders from
the East Plaza, who paid $200 for external admission to watch
the game on large television screens, were relocated to other
areas outside of the stadium.7 Those ticketholders had no real
issue with their relocation. As their admission was only for
the external portion of the stadium, (they were not permitted to
enter the stadium), the process of moving from one external area

of the stadium to another created no injury and/or cause of
action.
However, the problems only increased on the day of the
Super Bowl. To accommodate the increased capacity of the
expected crowd, temporary seating accommodations were installed.
Because of the effects of the snow storm, combined with the
general preparations for the Super Bowl, the temporary seats
installed in six sections were erected late enough that that the
local fire marshal didnt have time to inspect them.8 As those
seats were not inspected, 1,250 fans were left without seats
that were already paid for.9, 10 Of those 1,250 fans left without
seats, the National Football League found replacement seats for
850, which the National Football League also claims were
similar or better seats.11 The remaining 400 fans were left
without immediate accommodations.12 Eventually, the 400
remaining seatless fans were allowed to either watch the game
from the outdoor plazas or within a field-level club behind the
Pittsburgh Steelers bench.13 Despite the name, the field-level
club was described as merely being a bar, forcing the fans to
watch the game on televisions located throughout the club, since
there was no view of the field from within the club.14 Also, as
was mentioned, the outdoor plazas had no view of the field
either, except via televisions. Therefore, none of the
3

4/23
replacement arrangements for the last 400 fans offered a live
view of the field.15
The result of the incident involving the 400 fans specified
supra has resulted in at least two civil cases.16, 17 This paper
will analyze the area of law concerning remedies and damages,
and will apply that law to the situation that occurred at Super
Bowl XLV.
LEGAL OVERVIEW
While causes of action are determined by underlying
substantive law, there is a general aspect of law that is
applicable throughout the entirety of substantive lawthe law of
remedies and damages. The principle behind this area of the law
is exemplified by Sir William Blackstone in his Commentaries on
the Laws of England:
It is a general and indisputable rule, that where there isa legal right, there is also a legal remedy by suit oraction at law whenever that right is invaded.18
That is not to say, however, that all perceived wrongs can be
rectified through the courts. In order for a harm to be
rectified by the law, a legal wrong must have been committed.19
The main purpose of the law of remedies and damages is to
recreate the situation that would have existed, had the legal
4
-

5/23
wrong not occurred; to allow an aggrieved party reclaim their
rightful position.20, 21 This goal is pursued through different
means within the laws of remedies and damages. There are
various sections of the law that in one circumstance could be
mutually exclusive, and concurrently applied in another. The
first section of remedies and damages law to be analyzed is the
type of remedy to be applied; a legal remedy or an equitable
remedy.
COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY REMEDIES
The distinction between common law remedies and statutory
remedies is well defined, though it is constantly evolving. As
the name implies, common law remedies are those remedies that
have been developed over time throughout the administration of
precedential authority. Conversely, there are statutory
remedies which are promulgated in statutes by legislatures and
in regulations issued by executive administrative agencies.
LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES
The disparity between legal and equitable remedies
originates from the early system of courts in England.22 While
an in-depth look at the English legal system reveals more courts
5
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
6/23
and their specific functions, for the purpose of explanation,
two courts that can be compared are the Court of Common Pleas
and the Court of Chancery. The Court of Common Pleas involved
cases in which the monarchy had no interest, comprised the vast
majority of civil cases, and was the court which more than any
other shaped the medieval common law.23 On the other hand, the
Court of Chancery evolved from royal grants and property rights
of the crown, and grew to include trusts, estates, guardianship,
and similar legal entities.24, 25, 26, 27
By the fifteenth century, courts of law like the Court of
Common Pleas had established the use of common law. The common
law and its application of precedent treated all cases with
similar situations in a similar manner.28 The Court of Chancery,
and other courts of equity did not use the principle of
precedent; each case was distinct, and disputes were resolved on
an individual basis.29 Each of these types of courts had their
own body of substantive rules, procedural rules, and their own
remedies.30
Currently, the separate laws of legal and equitable
remedies have converged a great deal. In America, nearly all of
the states have merged the separate courts of law and equity.31
Despite that, remedies are still classified as legal or
equitable. Legal remedies involve monetary damages, discussed
infra, as well as specialized coercive writs.32 Equitable
6
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
7/23
remedies include injunctions, declaratory judgments, and
specific performance; generally, non-monetary relief. Also,
there is a rule that states that a plaintiff cannot have an
equitable remedy if a legal remedy would be adequate[;]
however, the law has evolved to the point where that rule has
lost much of its meaning.33
Concerning the case of the Super Bowl XLV seat shortage,
there are possibilities for both legal and equitable remedies.
The National Football League has already offered a reimbursement
of $5,000 or actual documented expenses, opening up the
possibility of a remedy in law of monetary damages.34 The
National Football League has also potentially created support
for an equitable remedy by offering: 1) a free ticket to the
next Super Bowl that is transferable to other parties along with
a cash payment of $2,400 or 2) a free ticket to a future Super
Bowl game of the fans choosing, plus round-trip airfare and
hotel accommodations, all of which is non-transferable.35
Although settlement offers do not contribute to the type of
remedy available, and are prohibited from being used as evidence
in the Federal Rules of Evidence, such offers could give
credence to a partys council using specific tactics and
requests for either type of remedy.

SPECIFIC AND SUBSTITUTIONARY REMEDIES
While differing legal and equitable choices of law decide
what specific remedies are available, the most fundamental
remedial choice is between the specific and substitutionary
remedies.36
Specific remedies give a plaintiff exactly what they would
have had, or would have been able to obtain, if they had not
been the victim of a legal wrong. Specific remedies include
injunctions, specific performance of contracts, restitution of
specific property, and a restitution of a specific sum of
money.37 Substitutionary remedies, on the other hand, attempt to
give a plaintiff an award equivalent in value to the harm that
was incurred. The most prevalent form of substitutionary
remedies are monetary damages, (discussed infra).
While there is a tendency to attribute specific remedies to
equity and substitutionary remedies to law, this is not
necessarily the case.38 The equity-law arrangement of remedies
appears to be segregated due to the nature of the most popular
remedies, but there is a significant deal of overlap in the
remedies offered. Although specific remedies, such as
injunctions, are usually sought in equity, there are also
substitutionary remedies available, such as relief for breach of
8
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
9/23
fiduciary duty.39 Conversely, despite substitutionary remedies
being the dominating award at law, there are also specific
remedies available, such as ejectment and replevin.40
In the case of the Super Bowl XLV seat shortage, the
remedies will be exclusively substitutionary. The nature of
Super Bowl tickets puts them in the same category as other
unique chattel along with contracts for the sale of land, family
heirlooms and rare artifacts.41 There can never again be the
same game, played at the same time, between the same two teams,
in the same exact situations, with the same historical
consequences. The substitutionary remedy for the possible legal
wrong may be either in law or equity, because, as discussed,
neither are exclusive to substitutionary remedies. Furthermore,
all of the settlement offers the National Football League mas
made to the displaced fans have been substitutionary in nature;
(cash payments, tickets to future Super Bowls, and combinations
of the two.
DAMAGES
Damages is a term used to identify the recovery of
monetary compensation for loss caused by the legal wrong of
another.42 There are many different varieties of damages. All
of the different types of damages share one thing in commoneach
9
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
10/23
form of damages awards money for the loss caused by the
defendant.43 The following is a list and brief description of
some of the more significant kinds of damages:
Actual (Compensatory) Damages
Actual damages are an amount awarded to a complainant to
compensate a proven injury or loss.44 Actual damages are also
referred to as compensatory damages, as they compensate the
complainant sufficiently enough to indemnify the injured person
for the loss suffered.45
General Damages
General damages are damages that the law presumes follow
from the type of wrong complained of.46 These damages do not
need to be alleged or proved.
Special Damages
Special damages are damages that are alleged to have been
sustained in the circumstances of a particular wrong.47 These
damages must be alleged and proved.
10
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
11/23
Consequential Damages
Consequential damages result from losses that do not flow
directly and immediately from a legal wrong, but can ultimately
be traced back to that wrong.48
Expectation Damages
Expectation damages are compensation awarded for the loss
of what a person reasonably anticipated from a transaction that
was not completely executed.49
Reliance Damages
Reliance damages are awarded for losses incurred by acting
in reliance on an agreement between contracting parties.50
Punitive (Exemplary) Damages
Punitive damages are damages awarded in addition to actual
damages when a defendant acts with recklessness, malice, or
deceit.51 These damages are also referred to as exemplary
damages, as one of the aims of these damages is to punish
blameworthy conduct, and deter that type of action by way of
penalization above and beyond ordinary remedies.
11

12/23
Nominal Damages
Nominal damages are a trivial amount awarded to a plaintiff
to acknowledge a legal wrong, but when there is no substantial
loss or injury to be compensated.52
Permanent Damages
Permanent damages are damages that are awarded for past,
present, and future damages that cannot be avoided or otherwise
remedied.53
Temporary Damages
Temporary damages are allowed for intermittent or
occasionally recurring wrong.54 An example of this is a
continuing trespass to property that can be removed or abated.
Liquidated Damages
Liquidated damages are damages that are associated with
contract law. Contracts can include liquidated damages clauses
that stipulate a reasonable estimation of damages to be
recovered by one part if the other party breaches.55
12
-

13/23
Double & Treble Damages
Double and treble damages are damages that are awarded at a
rate of twice or triple the normal amount of damages.56 These
damages are usually awarded pursuant to a statute.
Damages, like other remedies, attempt to return an
aggrieved party to the same position that they would have been
in, had the legal wrong not occurred. However, if monetary
damages are used, there is an issue of economic inadequacy. In
fact, the theory of damages is predicated on the theory of
economic inadequacy.57, 58 Valuation of monetary damages, (in
lieu of a remedy that would exactly replace or compensate for
the legal wrong), is imperfect and omits significant subjective
impairments that deserve legal protection.59
The goal of returning an aggrieved party can sometimes not
always be completely achieved through the use of monetary
damages. Some types of harm can be too speculative to
compensate with damages, such as lost profits from a new
business.60 Also, mental aggravation and waste of time cannot be
compensated from a breached contract, (if there is no such
contractual provision).61 Victims are also not allowed to
recover for subjective losses resulting from sentimental
attachments.
13
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
14/23
In this case, the issue of sentimental attachment could be
the most important issue if the case is ultimately remedied with
monetary damages. In the same way that a person selling a car
elevates the price beyond what is commonly accepted, (usually
lamented by buyers as someone selling their good times along
with the car), fans of the football teams that were displaced
probably attributed much higher value to their experience than
the market value. (As an aside, this inequality between
perceived value and market value is what allows the ticket
scalping market to flourish, and consequently resulted in at
least one Super Bowl XLV ticket being sold for $65,000.00).62 As
such, even if damages are awarded at a value reasonably above
market value, there is still a chance that some, if not many, of
the displaced fans will feel as if they did not receive adequate
compensation. This is a very intricate issue, though moot for
the most part; while allegations of supposed sentimental value
or personal meaning can wildly be attributed, or even falsified,
there are no grounds for compensation on this basis. Despite
that, as mentioned supra, the National Football League has
already offered financial settlements that obviously take into
account the sentimental value that fans attach to the football
experience above and beyond market value.

RESTITUTION
Where most remedies are aimed at assisting an aggrieved
party recoup some measure of loss they have attained due to a
legal wrong, restitutionary remedies are designed to force a
defendant to forfeit a benefit, and repay that amount to the
aggrieved party when it would be unjust for the party in the
wrong to retain the benefit.63, 64 This area of the law
traditionally proved to be confusing, as this principle falls
outside of the traditionally recognized areas of the law, such
as tort and contract.65 Although restitution involves the
payment of money to an aggrieved party, restitution is separate
and distinct form damages. While both are measures of monetary
recovery, damages are based upon a plaintiffs loss, whereas
restitution is based on a defendants gain.66
The concept of a party in the wrong retaining an unearned
benefit to the detriment of another party is called unjust
enrichment.67 The restitutionary remedies resulting from unjust
enrichment can be carried out via both law and equity.68 The
remedy of unjust enrichment through law is called quasi
contract, while the remedy of unjust enrichment through equity
is called subrogation.
A quasi contract is a fictional construct of a contract
that, although no formal agreement has been made, is implied in
15
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
16/23
law.69 The concept of quasi contract also applies to formalized
contracts when it is implied-in-fact when there exists conduct
exceeding the formalized terms and there is also a corresponding
manifestation of intent to be bound by said conduct.70
Legal subrogation, in support of equitable interests,
arises by operation of law or by implication in order to prevent
fraud or injustice.71 The application of the subrogation:
simply means substitution of one person for another;that is, one person is allowed to stand in the shoesof another and assert that persons rights against thedefendant. Factually, the case arises because, forsome justifiable reason, the subrogation plaintiff haspaid a debt owed by the defendant.72, 73
The case of the Super Bowl XLV seat shortage could
definitely incorporate some elements of restitution. The people
whose seats were unavailable had already paid for their tickets.
In return, they did not receive the seats for which they had
engaged in a bargained for exchange. Some of the accommodations
that were provided for these people were of significantly lesser
value than what was paid for them. There is more than ample
support for an argument that there is a value owed between the
amount paid for the tickets and the accommodations provided for
the event.

17/23
INJUNCTIONS
Injunctions are an equitable remedy where performance of an
action is either mandated or prohibited by the court. These
mandates and prohibitions are called mandatory injunctions and
negative injunctions, respectively.74 These injunctions attempt
to stop both current and future violations of law and maintain
an aggrieved party in their rightful position.75
Injunctions are preventive remedies, rather than
compensatory remedies; an aggrieved party need not be harmed at
all, if an injunction is granted before the harm takes place.
Injunctions also have a coercive element to them. Injunctions
are enforceable by sanctions of contempt of court if the
specified remedy is not followed.76 There are different kinds of
contempt of court, each used in different circumstances with
different ramifications:
a. Criminal contempt. Violating an injunction iscontempt of court. Contempt is a criminal offense ifdone willfully. Plaintiff may bring the offense tothe attention of the court, and the court decideswhether to ask the prosecutor to prosecute thecontempt. Defendant is entitled to most of theprotections of criminal procedure.
b. Compensatory civil contempt. Plaintiff may alsocite defendant for civil contempt. Civil contempt isa remedial proceeding, and plaintiff prosecutes ithimself. In compensatory civil contempt, the courtgrants compensation for any harm plaintiff suffered asa result of defendants violation of the injunction.Compensation in contempt generally includes attorneysfees and generally is awarded without jury trial.
17
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
18/23
c. Coercive civil contempt. Most important iscoercive civil contempt, in which the court imposesconditional penalties to coerce defendant intoobedience. These penalties are civil, but they mayinclude fines or imprisonment or both. There is no
fixed limit to the penalties that can be imposed incoercive civil contempt, but he penalties must beconditional: Defendant must be able to avoid them.The court often specifies what steps defendant musttake to purge himself of contempt and thereby avoidcoercive penalties. The effect is to make theoriginal injunction more specific, and sometimes moredemanding.77
As this case has not yet gone to trial, or even to
significant preliminary hearings, there has been no opportunity
for an injunction to be issued. An injunction may, however, be
one of the resulting remedies that occur during the trial
process. Since the issue of the seat shortage in Super Bowl XLV
was so public, the National Football League, or any other entity
associated with the, could be prohibited from discussing the
case publicly so that the potential juror pool is not
contaminated and/or so that public sentiment does not influence
the case.
DECLARATORY RELIEF
The most common example of declaratory relief is the
declaratory judgment.78 Declaratory judgments, similar to
Internal Revenue Service Revenue Rulings, provide a reliable
18
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
19/23
legal statement of parties rights with respect to a certain
situation.79 Also, like Internal Revenue Service Revenue
Rulings, declaratory judgments do not end in specific orders
that authoritatively effect the situation at hand; there is no
operative command within the judgment.80
While there is little observable effect of obtaining a
declaratory judgment, it can have a significant impact on the
parties involved. For instance, in a situation where an
individual wishes to chop down trees for firewood in an area
where ownership is disputed between himself and a neighbor,
obtaining a declaratory judgment in his favor would assure the
individual that he would face neither civil nor criminal
penalties for chopping down the trees.81
A declaratory judgment can be a double-edged sword,
however. While a declaratory judgment can provide peace of mind
and support for performing one action, performing another action
that is prohibited in a declaratory judgment can result in much
harsher enforcement of an actual judgment, due to the willful or
reckless disregard of the notice provided by the declaratory
judgment.
Although declaratory judgments deal with specific
situations in an almost hypothetical manner, there is still a
requirement of ripeness similar to regular cases. In federal
cases, the courts use a refined ripeness test, examining: 1)
19
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
20/23
the adversity of the parties interests; the conclusiveness of
the judgment; and 3) the utility of the judgment.82, 83
Declaratory remedies are usually used before a harmful
action, (or inaction), takes place. In the case of the seat
shortages in Super Bowl XLV, the harmful action has already
taken place. The cases currently in the court system are
regular civil cases; there would be no purpose to seek a
declaratory remedy at this point.
CONCLUSION
While the ultimate issue of the seat shortage of Super Bowl
XLV will hinge on the parties claims and the underlying
substantive law, most of the issues involving remedies and
damages resulting from that issue have been discussed. Of all
the principles and concepts discussed, it is probable that the
following will occur: 1) the remedies used in this case will
originate out of common law, not statutory law; 2) both legal
and equitable remedies will be available; 3) the remedies will
be substitutional in nature, not specific; 4) damages will be
available as a remedy, and will almost certainly include actual
damages, probably include reliance damages, possibly include
special, consequential, expectation, and punitive damages,
probably not include double or treble damages (unless awarded as
20
-
8/7/2019 Analysis of Damages and Remedies Resulting from the Seat Shortage of Super Bowl XLV
21/23
a punitive measure), and will almost certainly not include
general, nominal, permanent, temporary, or liquidated damages;
5) there could possibly be some form of restitution; 6) there
may be an injunction issued to aid the court in conducting the
trial; 7) there will be no declaratory judgment, and obtaining
one is meaningless as there are already multiple cases filed.
Finally, as discussed supra, there are already two claims
that have been filed on behalf of two groups. Although it will
be some time before the cases are ultimately resolved, if the
cases are decided at trial, it will be interesting to see how
the remedies that are actually awarded compare to those asserted
in this paper.
