Fans who purchased tickets to the Copa America final at Hard Rock Stadium are filing multiple lawsuits against CONMEBOL and the stadium operators after being denied entry due to chaotic scenes and a stampede at the gates. The chaos, which occurred before the match between Argentina and Colombia, left many fans distressed and some injured, with one fan reporting bruises. Fans are seeking refunds for their tickets, with Ticketmaster handling the claims. At least four lawsuits have been filed, with more likely to follow, citing security failures and the mishandling of the event. Miami-Dade County court records confirm the legal actions.
