On 3 December 1979, a crowd crush at a Who gig at the Riverfront Coliseum , Cincinnati killed 11 fans. This was partly due to the festival seating , where the first to enter get the best positions. Some fans waiting outside mistook the band’s soundcheck for the concert, and attempted to force their way inside. As only a few entrance doors were opened, a bottleneck situation ensued with thousands trying to gain entry, and the crush became deadly.
