Ticket holders denied entry to the Copa America final are suing Hard Rock Stadium and the tournament organizers after crowds of people without tickets stormed the match. The legal proceedings could clarify responsibility for the incident, which caused 27 arrests and 116 medical incidents. The Argentina-Colombia match was delayed over an hour due to fans overwhelming security, leading officials to allow entry to ticketed and non-ticketed fans before shutting the gates. Two lawsuits have been filed, with fans seeking over $100,000 in damages. One plaintiff, Jacqueline Martinez, spent $4,395 on tickets but was denied entry due to the chaos. CONMEBOL and Hard Rock Stadium are blaming each other for the security failures.
