Because U.S. stadium organizers are used to dealing with American audiences. Not with Colombians. Americans are squares compared to other cultures. Fans from certain countries can get downright crazy about sports. Mass riots and violence are uncommon in American sports games.

That said, the game yesterday was in Miami where security should know better who they're dealing with. They were prepared like it was an NFL game in Green Bay.
