A man attending a Colorado Rockies game, a guest of the luxury box

part, the lawsuit blames that the team sucks, so attendees have no
reason to pay attention to the game and the man had no warning of the
incoming foul ball.
 
Yeah, you can put anything in the pleadings of a lawsuit but that seems
absurd.

I thought it was well-settled that fans are made aware of the possibility of
balls flying into the stands with everything from signs to warning printed on
the tickets and that they assume the risk of injury.
