Hundreds of fans were left disappointed and frustrated after being shut out of the Copa America championship match at Hard Rock Stadium near Miami due to hooligans storming gates. The thrilling match, won by Argentina over Colombia in extra time, started almost 90 minutes late because of the chaos at the venue. Ticketed fans, including children who had eagerly followed the teams, were dismayed as non-ticketed fans took over their seats, leaving them stranded outside. The stadium gates were closed and reopened strategically to manage the situation, but some unruly fans resorted to illegal behavior. As the stadium reached capacity, even ticketed fans were kept out, leading to widespread disappointment and confusion. The priority remained the health and safety of all guests and staff, according to officials. Fans with tickets were left wandering from gate to gate, hoping in vain to gain entry to the match. The delay pushed kickoff to well past the scheduled time, leaving many fans feeling frustrated and let down.
