Fans file lawsuits against Conmebol and Hard Rock over Copa America chaos

July 22 – The first lawsuits have been filed by fans against Conmbel and the operators of Hard Rock Stadium in the wake of the chaos surrounding the Copa América final a week ago.

The complainants claim that they purchased tickets for the final but that crowd control issues prevented them from entering the stadium.

The first suit was filed by Jacqueline Martinez against South Florida Stadium LLC (Hard Rock Stadium) and Conmebol in the Circuit Court for the 11th Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade County.
