Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park, Chicago Tribune

Title (Dublin Core): Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park, Chicago Tribune
Description (Dublin Core): From the July 13, 1979 issue of the Chicago Tribune.

The anti-disco promotion was spearheaded by White Sox owner Bill Veeck along with shock jock Steve Dahl of 97.9 FM WLUP "The Loop," a Chicago rock station. Attendees were able to attend the games for only 98 cents if they turned in a disco record; between the doubleheader’s games, all the donated records would be blown up in center field. The White Sox were forced to forfeit the second game when the promotion went off the rails, when anti-disco demonstrators rioted on the field and caused significant damage to the park. The riot resulted in at least nine injuries and 39 arrests.
