A Philadelphia judge has asked the Pennsylvania Superior Court to affirm a $700,000 jury verdict and the award of delay damages in the case of a Dallas Cowboys fan who alleged he was jumped by Philadelphia Eagles fans in the bathroom of Lincoln Financial Field.

Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Teresa Sarmina, in response to 14 issues raised by the defendants in post-trial motions, wrote in her opinion that the jury’s verdict was sound, based on the evidence, and that a new trial in plaintiff Patrick Pearson’s lawsuit was not warranted.
