CINCINNATI (AP) — A woman says two increasingly intoxicated fans at a Cincinnati Bengals game fell on her, breaking her nose and finger and causing other injuries.



The woman and her husband are suing the Bengals, the beer vendor and the county-owned football stadium for negligence, alleging they continued to serve alcohol to “noticeably intoxicated” fans at a 2009 NFL game.



Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said Tuesday the team wouldn’t comment on pending litigation. Neither would the stadium vendor, Philadelphia-based Aramark Corp., company spokeswoman Dave Freireich said. Hamilton County officials didn’t immediately return an after-hours phone call Tuesday seeking comment.



Rebecca Dunn and husband Curtis Dunn of Owensboro, Ky., say the two men sitting behind them were served several drinks at Paul Brown Stadium before they fell on her, breaking and gashing her nose, breaking her finger, and causing bruises, sprains and other injuries. Their lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages for past and future pain and suffering and medical treatment that they say has cost $20,000 so far.



The couple also are suing the fans, identified only as John Doe and John Doe II. The lawsuit accuses them of battery.



“As a direct and proximate result of their intoxication, (the two men) lost control and fell” on (Rebecca Dunn), causing “catastrophic injuries” that required nose surgery and continuing orthopedic and other medical treatment, the lawsuit says. The incident also broke her $700 Oakley sunglasses and caused the couple to incur other expenses — they had to spend the night in a downtown hotel because the stadium garage closed after the game before they could retrieve their car, the lawsuit states

I think the Bengals are happy to have any fans, drunk or not, at the games these days! Of course, "You don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!"

Me thinks that was a year ago. 2009

Can we sue the Bengals for playing aweful football?

I get so sick of drunks at these games. They run their mouth non-stop...laced with generous amounts of profanity..usually in front of small children. They spill their drinks on everyone. They fall into you and they constantly aggravate you to death wanting out so they can go pee. Hope they win this lawsuit!

On the other side, Me and my friends always have a few $8.00 beers at a game. We dont get drunk, we dont cuss, we dont spit on people. AND we dont get loud mouth. We make friends with the people next to us (no matter what team they like) If someone has kids next to us , We buy them popcorn or a treat. If you see a person getting out of hand . Bengals have a program with a number you call. The men in black will be there in a flash. A lot of people dont know this.
A few bad ones make it hard on the good ones just wanting to have a good time.

I never knew that. I appreciate you letting me in on it. Hey, I'm not objecting to someone having a few beers..they're old enough, none of my business but i"m sure you've seen them drunks there too?

Yes i have, I have gone over to one . told him to shut his mouth. He was brothering everyone around him and me and my friends. I called the number you get to report this . The men in black came and took him away. He was not very nice to me when i told him to shut his mouth. In cinci just call the number.

Not really, even at the bengals, browns games, people yell at each other, but in a friendly way. I took my son when he was younger and always has a good time. you set in group and everyone gets along. You might have been in the $5.00 seats. Never been up the high.

I know there will always be problems, Cincys has the "jerk" program. call on you cell phone when there is a problem.
The men in black with there ear phones will come up ask the problem to be quite or remove them. If they dont remove them, one will stay behind and watch them. If they get out of hand again . SEE ya !!! ejected. (and the $5.00 seat was a joke) I knew a man of your importance would never set in cheap seats. lol

Im not driving 4 1/2 hours to sit in seats worse than the TV cameras. BTW, I miss the painted dirt of the old stadium. Part of the charm!
