Nuggets fan VICKI RAY is suing team owner Kroenke Sports & Entertainment after the company banned her from games and revoked her season tickets over claims she "grabbed a referee and hit a player in the face." Ray is seeking unspecified monetary damages and other relief, including an "injunction that prevents Kroenke from enforcing the ban and restores her season tickets." According to the complaint, Kroenke officials did "not cite any specific incidents in the phone call or letter banning her for the season and have refused to meaningfully discuss the issue with Ray." Attorneys for Ray claim Kroenke Sports & Entertainment banned her because they "wanted to resell her season tickets at a higher price" (DENVER POST, 4/22).
