Cleveland is also where the first “rock & roll” shows were hosted and where many bands got their start, and is home to the Rock & Roll hall of fame. Saying they liked to have a good time back in the 70’s is a severe understatement.
Adjusting for inflation, ten cents in 1974 is 78 cents or 61 pence today. Some baseball stadiums currently sell a cheaper beer for as low as $5, but paying $10-15, even $20, is more likely. You should watch a video about "Disco Demolition Night."
I live in Northeast Ohio; about an hour south of Cleveland. Still do. I was 5 years old when this happened. You hear stories about that game for years to come.
You have to remember too, that Billie Martin was never known to be a man to de-escalate a situation, so yeah, everything was aligned for this to go completely off the rails.
There was another crazy promotion, that turned worse than this. It was the Chicago White Sox. If I remember right, the crowd was asked to bring vinyl records to the game, to get in free. It ended with the whole crowd on the field, burning everything they could get their hands on.
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania was another city decimated by the collapse of the Steel Industry as well. Oops doesn't cover that complete cluster F. If you going to go rogue go big or go home.😂😮
Oh boy, do I remember this one. Disaster on an epic scale. This was not the last time that baseball went a bit sideways, here is a link to ESPN's story about Disco Demolition Night at a Chicago White Sox double header in 1979. You say that you are too young to remember disco? Count your blessings.💣 - ruclips.net/video/a1zN-oLCKo4/видео.html
Here's another suggestion for a new band, if interested. "Gold Dust Woman - Fleetwood Mac - The Dance" (by the channel: spiritmountainbtb) --This song written and sung by Stevie Nicks is from their eleventh studio album called "Rumors." The album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and it won Album of the Year in 1978 and received Diamond certification in several countries...in otherwards this album has some extraordinary Bangers to check out in future, if interested.

Of course, Billy Martin had to be there!
Never a dull moment with this great sport.
Omg I am dying laughing watching this reaction. What Einstein thought that 10 cent beer night would be a great idea??!!! Talk about one hot mess
Yall should check out “The Malice at the Palace” which was a huge brawl during a basketball game

The infamous disco demotion night,with chicago dj steve dahl.
Thanks for reacting to this one guys! Hopefully it will make a few people laugh. 🙂
My dad was at this game. He said it was absolutely crazy! I have a great t-shirts that memorializes it.
You can admit it. Your dad was one of the streakers wasn't he?
LOL, I remember this.
Mr. Google says that the average price of beer at a ballpark in 1974 was 65 cents. For those who may not know, it takes 100 cents to make a US dollar.
Wait, 60,000 beers for 25,000 fans??? That can't be right.
100% but it wasn’t Church softball night… not everyone was drunk lol.
People brought in their own booze too, Mike Hargrove said he was nearly hit by an empty gallon bottle of Thunderbird wine.
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania was another city decimated by the collapse of the Steel Industry as well.

My father in law was also there lol. Before I saw the video he just told me it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it’ll never happen again lol.
Haha that was hilarious.
Cleveland now is a great place to live
😂
1st time hearing this, omg.

Disaster or Greatest Night Ever???
Probably a little bit of both. 😅
