Argentina might be the 2024 Copa América champions, but that doesn't mean all fighting over the tournament is over.

Several fans have filed lawsuits against both South American soccer governing body CONMEBOL and South Florida Stadium LLC, the operator of the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium, over being denied entry to the Copa final on Sunday, according to ESPN and the Miami Herald.

The situation surrounding Hard Rock stadium was an unmitigated disaster for all involved, except for the ticketless fans at the center of the chaos. After security tried and often failed to keep those fans out of the stadium, the operators opted to close down all gates in an attempt to restore order.
