Description: On July 12, 1979, 48,000 fans packed Chicago’s Comiskey Park for a doubleheader that included a promotion involving blowing up disco records. The event devolved into a fiery riot when crazed rock n' roll fans stormed the field as part of an anti-disco promotional event when a local disc jockey took the field between games to destroy the records listeners had brought. Once the crate of disco records had blown up, the crowd chanting 'DISCO SUCKS' cheered uproariously and began taking the field. From there they began throwing records and cherry bombs, tearing up the field and stadium facilities and otherwise devolving into an all-out riot that ended up with the Chicago PD riot squad being called in.
Description: A humorous and chaotic scene unfolds with a large, anthropomorphic number '4' engulfed in flames and an explosion behind it. Festive characters in Santa hats are depicted running around, with a decorated Christmas tree and gifts in the background. A large orange character looks on in shock.
