"WM Phoenix Open Faces Calls for Changes and Refunds After Chaotic Saturday"
The 2024 WM Phoenix Open faced chaotic scenes and safety concerns on Saturday, with overcrowding and rowdy behavior leading to 54 arrests and three times as many ejections compared to last year. Organizers attributed the issues to rainy weather and mud, causing densely packed crowds and bottlenecking at the main entrance. Calls for changes and improvements, including a potential second entrance, have emerged, while some ticket-holders seek compensation for being turned away.
