Several lawsuits have been filed in connection with the chaos that erupted at the Copa America soccer tournament final at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami last weekend. Fans without tickets forced their way into the stadium, leading to melees at the admission gates. At least four lawsuits have been filed against the stadium and CONMEBOL, South American soccer’s governing organization, over the incidents.
One injured woman, represented by an attorney, cited serious injuries sustained during the chaos. The attorney criticized stadium and CONMEBOL officials for allegedly prioritizing profits over safety, claiming that more police officers and security guards should have been hired.
