Chaos broke out at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday night ahead of the 2024 Copa América final between Argentina and Colombia.
As the two juggernauts prepared to face off for the tournament win, fans found ways to enter the stadium without a ticket.
It wasn’t just a couple of unruly spectators without access to the venue, either. So many people breached the entrance that it halted the start to Sunday night’s game. It got so bad that people were entering the stadium through the vents at Hard Rock.
That was also a disaster for all the fans who were trying to enter the stadium the right way and couldn’t get in amid all the improper entries.
The game’s start was delayed because of all the mayhem, which dampened the mood for one of the biggest soccer games of the year.
Here are seven videos that sum up how chaotic everything got at Hard Rock Stadium, something soccer fans aren’t likely to forget any time soon.
