Yes, there was an injury. There also have been complaints about how long it took to make changes. Did the Rams request changes be made, and they just took a while? That's how I interpreted it, anyway, but could be wrong. If the Rams requested a change on Monday, but there had to be a minor modification to the contract, that could easily take a few days, then it would take a few days to get the equipment in.
I don't know, but the court will decide ultimately. If they're being punished for starting the change after the first injury in 20 years, and not having it rushed by both the stadium bureaucracy AND by the supplier, I could see it being reduced on appeal. In theory Bush was made financially whole just by the $5 million portion of the judgement.
Incidentally, Kroenke likely has paid already - generally you need to put the full judgement into escrow before appealing it.
