STEVE DAHL'S NOTORIOUS 1979 DISCO DEMOLITION
Disco Demolition was a
promotional event held at Comiskey Park on July 12,
1979. The Chicago White Sox were playing a doubleheader
against the Detroit Tigers. Radio Personality Steve Dahl
asked his disco-hating listeners to bring records to the
ballpark where, between games, he would blow them up on
the field.
The extremely large, overzealous crowd
took to the field and damaged it, resulting in the White
Sox having to forfeit the second game. Disco Demolition
night gained national attention and remains one of the
most notorious promotional stunts in sports history.
Originally Broadcast
on the Decades TV Network.
