disco demolition night


30 years ago yesterday was the famous disco demolition night between games of a doubleheader between the chicago white sox and the detroit tigers. I remember it like it was yesterday. Some credit it as the beginning of the end of disco. Any one else remember .

ESPN ran this story on Sports Center last night - so much damage to the field the White Sox had to forfeit the game!
Steve Dahl started his
radio career in Detroit yes it was a great gag that got away from him.

I remember this as a young man of 11 years old who was living in Greater Chicagoland at the time. I was a huge rock fan even then and I remembered cheering on the crowd. Disco sucks.......good stuff!
