Although the game was four years ago and played after one of the biggest winter storms ever to hit North Texas, some folks are still hot about not having seats for Super Bowl XLV.
A federal lawsuit over the Super Bowl seating fiasco began Monday in Dallas.
The lawsuit was brought by eight ticket holders who had no seats for the game, according to The Dallas Morning News, with a second lawsuit representing another 200 disgruntled ticket purchasers still pending.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to be among the first witnesses called, although he may be permitted to submit a videotaped testimony.
Around 1,200 temporary seats for the Feb. 6, 2011 game were deemed unsafe by Arlington fire officials mere hours before the doors opened at AT&T Stadium, which was then known as Cowboys Stadium.
The NFL was able to relocate some fans to other seating, although not without delays and confusion. The league offered refunds to those who were left without seats. The initial offer was for triple the face value of their tickets plus a ticket to the following Super Bowl.

The NFL's later refund offers included $5,000 in reimbursements as well as tickets and travel to a future Super Bowl.
The Dallas Cowboys were responsible for the installation of the temporary seating, although both the team and owner Jerry Jones were dismissed from the lawsuit.
That wasn't enough to suit some whose seats weren't finished in time to see the Packers defeat the Steelers. Jury selection was expected to begin Monday and the trial is expected to last two weeks.
