Super Bowl 50

[King Imp]

I was thinking about this the other day, about where they might have the 50th anniversary Super Bowl. You know it has to be somewhere huge and iconic to celebrate such an event.

These are the top 3 locations that came to mind.

1) The L.A. Coliseum - Where better to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the big game by having it in the location it all began? I know the NFL hasn't had a Super Bowl in a non-NFL stadium for quite some time, but this could be the exception to the rule.

2) The new Los Angeles Stadium (http://www.losangelesfootballstadium.com/) - I honestly didn't even know about this until it was mentioned during the pregame on Sunday. If the Coliseum is out, then this is the next best thing as it's in the vicinity and it's clearly being designed for an NFL team.

3) London - God forbid this ever happens, but Goodell has said he wants to have a Super Bowl over there and being he is clearly more about business than he is about the sport, I could see him screwing over the American fans to have it overseas.


Now, as for the halftime entertainment at such an event, you know it has to be huge. Not some run of the mill current hot artist (Lady Gaga or Justin Beiber), but one who is iconic and considered one of the biggest acts of all time. Two immediately spring to mind when I think this and they are:

1) A Led Zeppelin reunion - Granted, this might be a long, LONG shot, but with them getting the Rolling Stones and The Who in the past I could see this as a possibility.

2) Madonna - We've had Michael Jackson and Prince before and in my mind she made up the trio of the biggest artists to come out of the 80's so she also could be a possibility.


What do you all think about where and who would be chosen for the 50th anniversary of the Super Bowl?

[Jujubees2]

The Rose Bowl should be the site. Especially now they're renovating it.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I wonder if they will Let Ari Gold back in to buying that team for LA :lol:


I'd go with the Rose Bowl also.

[Snacks]

They may have it in the new LA stadium but there is no way in hell they have it in a college stadium. They wont even have it in an old stadium. It would have to be in an NFL stadium that holds the most amount of people and is new or newly renovated. One of the NFL SB citys they are used to having it like Miami (after the $300 million make over), TB, or SD (if they get a make over too) or New Orleans. That would be great for that city and they would put on a great show for the SB!

Half time show would not be Led Zeppelin. They will not have 70 year old rockers standing around playing music the masses dont know or like. I do agree Madonna might be a choice for them. They would want someone who has been around long enough but isnt going to die on stage! The might even do multiple artist from different generations.

They will probably announce that city next year or so because we already know SB 48 is NJ. 49 and 50 will have to be known soon!

Music the masses don't know??

Now, as for the halftime entertainment at such an event

1) A Led Zeppelin reunion

Good luck gettin John Bonham...I'm pretty sure when he died he was sending a message about his feelings on a reunion..
Just sayin...

Exactly, most people under the age of 30 couldnt name any songs by LZ. I only know 1 song by them and none of my friends or anyone I hang out with, grew up with or any Uncles, Aunts etc ever listened to LZ. They are an old school rock group who hasnt had a new song in 30+ years.

It's ok, I have always have a box ready.

[Judge Smails]

I say we old school this bitch up: We have it in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Anita Bryant does the national anthem with Up With People doing the halftime show. Also, neither team is allowed to use a black quarterback and all odd numbered players will intentionally be given concussions in the locker rooms prior to kickoff and required to play the entire game. In a final bit of nostalgia, we dig up Pete Rozelle and prop him up in the endzone holding the Lombardi trophy. If a team can knock the trophy out of Pete's hand on a thrown pass it is awarded a Rouge.

This year it really struck me that the halftime show not only wasn't for me, but it shouldn't be targeted for me. The Super Bowl already has me, so they need to target that act to under 25 to make sure that they make this game a habit.

Let's just admit that the Black Eyed Peas, while fucking hideous, were probably a good business decision.

This. No more outdated irrelevant music acts for the halftime show.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Lets give the Superbowl some soul


Earth Wind and Fire for the Halftime Show.


Aretha singing the Anthem.

Im down for a little Earth Wind and Fire but not Aretha, no thanks!

That could be true, but I'd have to see the numbers to back it up. It seems to me that the only time there is ANY hype about a halftime show has been The Stones and The Who.

I had no idea who was performing ahead of time. I have no idea who performed in the past, except for The Who, The Stones, and Janet Jackson.

I could be wrong, but I have a hard time believing the Black Eyed Peas is any sort of draw. It's not like they're some rare commodity. They're on every other award show and every fifth talk show. I never hear about Jimmy Fallon cheering about the "BEP bump".

They probably ran out of/got sick of the nostalgia acts and decided, "We have to get SOMEBODY. Who's popular, exciting and safe?"

Its not that they are a rare or hard to book. Its that they are huge right now and the majority of people would want to see them. Not everyone because people who like rock will never give electronic, dance, pop music a chance. But then again the younger people who like this type of music dont care about the stones or the who. I dont know about other people but I dont want to see 60 year olds on stage. I want to here something new and fun. Watching an old guy who cant even breathe after 5 minutes isnt entertaining.

As for knowing who was performing, I knew it they talked about it for 2 or 3 months once they booked them. There was tons of hype about it because it was the 1st time since Janet and Justin Timberlake that they actually had a modern act that people wanted to see. Ever since the majority of "hype" was about how they are booking safe old guys that no one wanted to see!

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Popular and safe.

My ex got me into him and now I actually really like him. But men in general dont so I dont know about being safe but it will definitely pander to the female crowd.

Yes, this is what epo just said. And these past ten minutes have not changed my level of skepticism about the theory.

[Judge Smails]

Admittedly, I'm an old fuddy-duddy so maybe I'm not the best judge. But I do know that my 13 year-old son and his friends are really into AC/DC thanks in part to Rock Band and the Iron Man movies. Sure they're oldsters - they were the first band I saw in person back in 1983 and 26 years later they were my son's first concert - but I think they could appeal to a diverse audience.

Throw in the fact that I'd guess that they are probably one on the most played bands in all NFL stadiums. My son pointed out that they were playing Thunderstruck in Texas Stadium during one of the time-outs during the Super Bowl. I'm surprised they haven't had them do the half-time yet. What do you young whipper-snappers think of that choice? I'll hang up now and listen to your answer.

Same as any Halftime Show ever: "What channel is Animal Planet...I want to watch the Puppy Bowl."

[StanUpshaw]

I say fuck the music acts all together. Bring over some of those wacky Japs to do their synchronized walking, and kung fu and trained bears and stuff.

Bringing in the Black Eyed Peas is targeting the 40+ mom demo.

the black eyed peas are safe middle aged guys. It's not like you had to worry about something bad happening with Kidz Bop Inc on stage.

My ex got me into him and now I actually really like him. But men in general dont so I dont know about being safe but it will definitely pander to the female crowd.

Jesus, you're such a fag.

No way man. He fucks all kinds of sluts like the jizzmops they are.

[Recyclerz]

Location: If the lockout lasts long enough - the Moon. If not Shanghai.


Entertainment: If the NFL thinks it has a real shot at expanding the brand internationally it will be some newish Asian or Latin American pop band with some crossover exposure in the US (for the reasons Epo laid out earlier). The BPEs were a big step in that direction this year.

If our football doesn't catch on with the furriners it will be some awful current noveau Country act that keeps churning out the hits (Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift?) to make the hayseeds feel like they're the big winners. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Garth Brooks returns from semi-retirement for the next extravaganza.

You seem to be the only person who thinks Black Eyed Peas was meant for 40 year olds. I really dont know where you get that from but I would love to know what kind of music you would play as a DJ? You must do weddings and other generic crap because I have booked some of the biggest DJs in the world like Johnathon Peters, Denny Tsettos, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Tanaglia, David Guetta, DJ AM, Skribble etc and they play and have worked with acts just like them!

London? Are you insane?

Rose Bowl makes complete sense.
Unless they build some mega-stadium in the next 2-3 years.

Halftime? I have no idea. We've had The Who, Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and Aerosmith over these last few years. (I think Tom Petty also) It's been dreadful. I kept hearing the Peas were horrific. just about everyone I know who watched the hafltime said so. (I was taking a crap...which, apparently, was more entertaining)

Led Zeppelin? Jesus they might be all DEAD by SB 50.
Madonna..well let's hope she is too.

Smails hit it right on the head...AC/DC. Perfect Band for this kind of thing. They have enough hits and play well enough to pull it off. And they span about 2-3 generations with their music.

But I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Brad Paisley play too...yes I dig on country and he's a damn good guitarist.

[Snoogans]

play the SB in Hawaii. Every single year

Like I said, they got the Stones and The Who. How would this be any different? Hell, Robert Plant is younger than Jagger and Daltry.


Good luck gettin John Bonham...I'm pretty sure when he died he was sending a message about his feelings on a reunion..

I was actually thinking more along the lines of Jason Bonham for the reunion.


London? Are you insane?

Don't look at me. Roger Goodell is the asshole who said he wants to have it there eventually.

When I want to hear music, I go to a concert.

Get rid of the halftime show already.

I used to play raves and weeklies. I mainly played acid techno, but I fucked around with drum and bass a bit and some epic trance. I was never a wedding dj.

I would go to Twilo and Vinyl on occasion. Junior Vasquez and Tenaglia had their own styles and were great. IMO Peters was the best.

I liked them all but Im more of a fan of "Vocals" so I like Peters a little less. He loved to play more things that were beat driven with no vocals at all! But with what he got paid he could do as he pleased.

Junior Vasquez did a lot of vocals remixes. I havent been in that scene in years I know that back in the day a lot of the top DJ's had residencies. I think Peters does more touring now

They all tour a little and are mainly producers now. Im out of the business for a while now but most do not have residencies anymore but for the right price will do a spot in Europe, Vegas, NYC, Miami etc!
