How courts have described this case

- holding that the plaintiff failed to allege injury in fact where he “took no meaningful action” to pursue the alleged opportunity
- holding that the plaintiff’s injury, an inability to buy fair-price tickets to the Super Bowl, was not fairly traceable to the NFL’s actions because the plaintiff sought tickets only in the resale market
- stating that the Twombly plaintiffs “looked around and saw conduct consistent with a conspiracy, but they saw no facts that indicated more plausibly that a conspiracy actually existed”
- recognizing a \federal court's obligation to assure itself that it has subject matter jurisdiction\
