Super Bowl XLVIII - Halftime Show Issues

Halftime Show Issues

As the first Super Bowl held at an open stadium in a city with cold weather, planners have indicated that there may not be a halftime show due to the weather. One such logistical problem that could arise is trying to assemble and disassemble the halftime show stage during a cold blizzard. However, the league has stated that an in-stadium Super Bowl halftime show will still be held. According to Mike Florio of Profootballtalk.com, the NFL still wants to avoid a repeat of what happened during Super Bowl XXVI in January 1992 when Fox counter-programmed a special live episode of In Living Color; as a result of that ratings success, the league tapped Michael Jackson to perform during the following season's Super Bowl XXVII, and more big-name talent since then to hold the TV audience.

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or issues:

    So-called Western Civilization, as practised in half of Europe, some of Asia and a few parts of North America, is better than anything else available. Western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it’s also the only thing that’s ever tried to. Our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
