 So WLUP and the White Sox expected maybe 5,000 more fans than the average draw of 15,000 or so at Comiskey Park. What they got was a raucous sellout drunken crowd of 40,000 plus and even more overflow crowd of as more as 40,000 outside on Shields Avenue. So the second mistake was failing to actually collect these disco records. The big mistake was serving alcohol.
