Officials at Hard Rock Stadium took drastic measures to restore order and prevent further damage by shutting down gates and entrances during a chaotic scene. CONMEBOL, the governing body of South American football, stated that only ticket holders would be allowed entry upon reopening of the gates, which ultimately led to a 10-minute delay in the kick-off for the Copa America final. Miami-Dade Police urged fans to remain calm and comply with the authorities and stadium personnel, emphasizing a zero tolerance policy for unruly conduct.

Social media images and videos depicted fans trying to breach the turnstiles and climb over fences in an attempt to enter the stadium, with some managing to evade security and police once inside. The chaotic scenes led to injuries and ultimately forced the closure of all stadium gates, leaving attendees, including players’ family members, standing in the Florida heat despite holding valid tickets.
