The dumbest night in baseball history. (Along with Ten Cent Beer Night.) July 12, 1979, Comiskey Park, Chicago, Illinois.
The game: Actually, two games were scheduled; it was a doubleheader. Detroit won the first game, 4-1, and the second was canceled because of the mayhem. Chicago (which sucked that year) forfeited to Detroit.
What was intended: The blowing up of disco records in the stadium, as well as two White Sox/ Detroit Tigers games, in front of a crowd of perhaps 20000, with enough security for 35000. The park could hold 40000 or so.
What happened: Over 50000 people came, mostly rock-music fans who didn't care about baseball. People jumped turnstiles in true 70s fashion. Security was sent to the gates, leaving stands undefended. People threw records from the stands, chanted "DISCO SUCKS!", smoked pot, and interrupted play. At the end of the first game, folks drove onfield with a box of records and blew it up, cratering the outfield. Rockers invaded the field, wrecked the batting cage, overran the dugouts, and partied. The cops were called on the rock music folks, which led to more trampling of the field. The field was unplayable, so Chicago had to forfeit.
Why: Disco was reaching the end of its "golden age", and baseball was at a popularity low. Furthermore, the White Sox were having a bad year. So the White Sox honchos decided to hold an anti-disco night. They invited disco haters to come into the stadium with a discount if they brought in a disco record.

One of the older words in the English language, not to mention one of the dirtier ones. It refers to a woman's nether regions, and many a red-light district in merry old England had street names that included this word.
Did you know that there used to be bordellos on Grope Cunt Lane? Like, in the Middle Ages or something.

Along with Disco Demolition Night, one of the stupidest nights in baseball history. June 4, 1974, Cleveland Stadium, Ohio. The Cleveland Indians were playing the Texas Rangers, and the Indians unwisely offered all the beer you can drink for ten cents. Many fans showed up drunk/stoned. Nonetheless, the game managed to make its way to the bottom of the ninth inning, tied 5-5. Fans had already been causing nonsense, and a fan decided to jump onto the field and steal a Texas baseball cap. The Rangers and drunk fans then swarmed the field, leading to a WWE style melee with hundreds of participants. An umpire forfeited the game to Texas and got bonked on the head with a seat.
Question: Which did you like better, Disco Demolition Night or Ten Cent Beer Night?
Answer: I guess the disco thing; everyone had a hangover after Ten Cent Beer Night.
