Copa America faced another security embarrassment ahead of the tournament’s championship showdown between Argentina and Colombia — and this time, it happened before the match even started.
The start time was pushed back from 8:00 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. and the teams were pulled from the field after fans rushed the Hard Rock Stadium gates and climbed over fences, as well as through vents, to “forcibly enter” without tickets Sunday night, the venue said in an initial statement.
In another statement later in the night, according to USA Today, a spokesperson for the venue said that — eventually, and for a brief stretch — gates were opened “to all fans in order to prevent stampedes and serious injury at the perimeter. There was serious concern of fans being crushed in an attempt to enter.”
