People brought their own Disco Albums and were throwing them like frisbies in the stadium. a few people were even hurt by flying Disco LP's. Dahl rigged a big crate full of LP's with explosives and exploded them on the field. The whole thing turned into a near riot. Screams of Disco Sucks were heard all night long around the stadium.


I remember that. They had to postpone the second game of the double header because of the damage to the field.
