I think it is questionable to name all the other individual teams and owners. It is a silly lawsuit in that regard.
I think Judge expects the Plaintiff's lawyers not to leak the information if turned over and thinks parties should produce the information in discovery if ordered.
Judge will probably split the trial to determine liability before allowing evidence on damages.
I think even a St. Louis jury will think it is wacky for parties that enticed the Rams to leave LA have much right to beef about the team going back to LA.
There is no real contract that says teams can not get approval to relocate.
I doubt the financials of 31 teams and their owners will ever be evidence at a trial if liability is determined before evidence on damages. But judges expect parties and their lawyers to follow orders and produce information and judges also expect the Plaintiffs' lawyers to guard the information.
