Resumen
On July 12, 1979, the Chicago White Sox hosted the famous "Disco Demolition Night" at Comiskey Park during a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. The event was organized by Chicago radio station WLUP-FM, also known as "The Loop," and their disc jockey, Steve Dahl, who had been fired from his previous job at a rival station after they changed formats from rock to disco.

Attendees were encouraged to bring their disco records to the stadium, where they would be collected and later blown up in the outfield during the break between games. Fans who brought a disco record were admitted to the game for just 98 cents.

The event quickly spiraled out of control as the stadium was filled beyond capacity with an estimated 20,000 to 50,000 fans. When Dahl blew up the records using explosives, thousands of fans stormed the field, causing a riot. They started small fires, tore up the grass, and damaged the batting cage and other stadium equipment.

The White Sox were forced to forfeit the second game of the doubleheader to the Tigers due to the unplayable field conditions following the riot. Disco Demolition Night remains one of the most infamous and bizarre promotions in sports history, highlighting the tension between rock and disco music fans during the late 1970s. The event is often seen as a turning point in the decline of disco's popularity and has become a part of baseball folklore.
