guess they never heard about this...

Beer Night (Rangers at Indians, June 4, 1974)
Ten ounces, 10 cents, not quite nine innings. That's what happened when the Indians' brain trust came up with the idea of building attendance with cheap booze. Even 30 years ago, a 10-cent beer was a bargain, and 65,000 "fans" showed their appreciation by getting completely, collectively toasted. There was a streaker. Home-plate umpire Nestor Chylak might have appreciated the amorous propensities of a smoocher, if she hadn't tried to plant one mid-game. The brawls in the stands were sometimes interrupted by real game action, but things kept getting worse as the drunken disorderlies pelted the Rangers' bullpen with beer and fireworks.

The game continued past those disturbances, but was finally called in the ninth when fans came after Rangers right fielder Jeff Burroughs. The Rangers defended their mate by coming after the fans with bats. The fans retaliated by swarming the field with broken bottles and chairs and other imaginative weapons. Four players were injured, Chylak's wrist and head were cut, and Chylak forced the Indians to forfeit the game.

The Indians decided to cancel the three Beer Nights left on the home slate.

This deal has been extended to the final nine games of the regular season. so, for $225 you can spend the next 9 days eating, getting soused and watching baseball.
