Discount beer promotions
During the 1969 Texas League season, the Albuquerque Dodgers, a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers, began holding promotional events where beer cost 10 cents per 12 oz. These Ten Cent Beer Nights were popular among fans, and Ten Cent Beer Nights were one of several promotional events that the Albuquerque Dodgers retained in 1970 to boost attendance at Albuquerque Sports Stadium. The Dodgers soon became known for their promotional events, which also included baseball bingo and "must win" nights, fans would receive free tickets for every game until Albuquerque won.

In 1971, the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB) responded to lagging attendance by hosting their own Ten Cent Beer Night for their June 18 game against the Oakland Athletics. The event was met with support from team president Bud Selig, who procured over 1,000 bottles of craft beer from local breweries. Although the front office believed that the promotion would sell out Milwaukee County Stadium, inclement weather stifled ticket sales, fights broke out in the stands, and several attendees were arrested for public intoxication.
