At the climax of the event, a crate filled with <a href="/wiki/Disco" title="Disco">disco</a> records was blown up on the field between games of the <a href="/wiki/Doubleheader_(baseball)#Twi-night" title="Doubleheader (baseball)">twi-night doubleheader</a> between the <a href="/wiki/1979_Chicago_White_Sox_season" title="1979 Chicago White Sox season">Chicago White Sox</a> and the <a href="/wiki/1979_Detroit_Tigers_season" title="1979 Detroit Tigers season">Detroit Tigers</a>. Many had come to see the explosion rather than the games and <a href="/wiki/Pitch_invasion" title="Pitch invasion">rushed onto the field</a> after the detonation. The playing field was so damaged by the explosion and by the rioters that the White Sox were required to <a href="/wiki/Forfeit_(baseball)" title="Forfeit (baseball)">forfeit</a> the second game to the Tigers. </p><p>In the late 1970s, dance-oriented disco was the most popular music genre in the United States, particularly after being featured in hit films such as <i><a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_Fever" title="Saturday Night Fever">Saturday Night Fever</a></i> (1977). However, disco sparked a major backlash from rock music fans—an opposition prominent enough that the White Sox, seeking to fill seats at Comiskey Park during a lackluster season, engaged Chicago <a href="/wiki/Shock_jock" title="Shock jock">shock jock</a> and anti-disco campaigner <a href="/wiki/Steve_Dahl" title="Steve Dahl">Steve Dahl</a> for the promotion at the July 12 doubleheader. Dahl's sponsoring radio station was WLUP (97.9 FM, now <a href="/wiki/WCKL_(FM)" title="WCKL (FM)">WCKL</a>), so admission was discounted to 98 cents for attendees who turned in a disco record; between games, Dahl was to destroy the collected <a href="/wiki/Gramophone_record" class="mw-redirect" title="Gramophone record">vinyl</a> in an explosion. </p><p>White Sox officials had hoped for a crowd of 20,000, about 5,000 more than usual. Instead, at least 50,000—including tens of thousands of Dahl's listeners—packed the stadium, and thousands more continued to sneak in after capacity was reached and gates were closed. Many of the records were not collected by staff and were thrown like <a href="/wiki/Flying_disc" class="mw-redirect" title="Flying disc">flying discs</a> from the stands. After Dahl blew up the collected records, thousands of fans stormed the field and remained there until dispersed by riot police. </p><p>The second game was initially postponed, but was forfeited to the Tigers the next day by order of <a href="/wiki/American_League" title="American League">American League</a> president <a href="/wiki/Lee_MacPhail" title="Lee MacPhail">Lee MacPhail</a>.
