Remembering the 1979 Who concert tragedy: 11 lives lost

Eleven people lost their lives in the tragic stampede that occurred during The Who concert at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati on December 3, 1979. Thousands of fans rushed forward as the doors opened, resulting in chaos and people being trampled. This event led to changes in crowd management and ticketing practices. Today, a memorial marker stands at the site to remember the victims, and their loved ones continue to honor their memory every year.
