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:
“You don’t hit a child when you want him to stop hitting. You don’t yell at a children to get them to stop yelling. Or spit at a child to indicate that he should not spit. Of course, you want children to know how to sympathize with others and to “know how it feels,” but you ... have to show them how to act—not how not to act.”
—Jeannette W. Galambos (20th century)
“I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
