Some of these idiots were going to the games and not paying
ARLINGTON — Cowboys Stadium L.P., an entity controlled by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, wants to recover tens of millions of dollars from individuals and companies who have stopped making lease payments on their luxury suites at the team’s shiny new $1.2 billion football stadium in Arlington.
Attorneys for Cowboys Stadium L.P. in the past couple of months have filed 17 lawsuits in Tarrant County, the largest one against the Dallas Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, which signed 20-year leases for six suites, and carrying an annual lease fee of $2.1 million, the suit says.
The stadium partnership is suing for $42 million, what the dental group would have paid over the course of the leases. The group only paid $210,000, the suit says. Its principal, Dr. James Addison, did not return a phone call seeking comment on the suit.
One case was dismissed last week because an agreement was reached, according to court documents. The stadium partnership is suing for full payment of the 20-year leases, which totals $113.8 million under current terms. The stadium collected $711,500 in down payments from those leaseholders, but they should have paid $3.2 million by now.
The number of lawsuits is a fraction when compared to the number of the 300 suites that were leased, said Levi McCathern, the attorney representing the stadium partnership. The owners, he said, are not going to let people out of their leases.
Some of those being sued did use their suites during the Dallas Cowboys first season in the new stadium. Several attempts were made to accommodate the leaseholders, offering them options such as downgrading to a less expensive suite, before the lawsuits were filed, McCathern said.
