Murjani Rawls, Patrick Lanni, Matthew Stanmyre. and Steve Politi report: 
Gridlock choked the highways and streets surrounding the stadium near midnight, and fans waited in thick crowds at the designated rideshare area at Meadowlands racetrack. Some had been in line for more than an hour after wandering the stadium grounds searching for a way out. 
“I live in America and I’ve been to big events, but I have never seen this before,” said Aline Kubik, a Brazil fan who was staying in Elizabeth. “It’s hard to believe we’re in America right now.”

Believe it, Aline.  It happens all the time in America.
