WTF is up with the Pregame???? Romero Britto is a painter/sculptor from Miami. So what is this all about- a bunch of half-naked acrobats writhing around while Romero Britto stands at an easel painting?

Oh yeah, Stevie will love being part of that. "Don't be a child, this is art."

I agree!! Stevie should have sung it!

Of course she would need Jana beside her singing the high notes while she does the lower harmony.

According to the latest local news, Gloria Estefan is going to be presenting the Cirque Du Soleil performance...

I wonder who, if anyone, will be introducing Stevie? Also, Prince has a show here at the Hard Rock Live tomorrow night. Stevie might be in attendance...if she's in town, already.

Sounds logical!

Hey Stew. I think the pre-game show is always outside the stadium and is open to the general public. The Sheryl Crow concert a few years ago looked like it was on the back of a flatbed 18-wheeler.

The pre-game activities are usually in tented areas in the parking lot - not open to the public......

I must've misunderstood what my uncle meant then.

I know he said something about them probably wanting as many people to be there as possible.
Maybe he'd didn't mean IN the stadium, but just having already arrived.

A few fast facts:

The performance celebrates football and the south of Florida.
Props and costumes are inspired by the works of arts of Romero Britto, a well known pop artist of his time.
Crew has just 4 minutes to build the backdrop of the performance and 2 minutes to tear it down, taking great care not to tear up the field before the game.
The entire performance lasts just 9 minutes!
With this year's theme in mind, "One game… one dream…", Louie Vega worked to create original composition and music to follow the performance.
350 artists, 278 of which are volunteers will participate in the event.
Stay tuned for more details…

It also said that this will air at precisely 5:50pm.....

According to this blurb, which is from the west coast, since they're saying it starts at 11 AM (it starts at noon here, in the central time zone), Stevie should be on about an hour and 55 minutes into it...so y'all do the math for your own timezone. Or do what I'm doing, don't take any chances and just record all of it...

CBS' pregame plans during their four-hour before-the-game-finally-starts show (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.):
-James Brown gets to ask the two head coaches about this first all-black head coach thing.
-Dick Enberg has a piece with former 49ers coach Bill Walsh (kinda like what Bob Costas did earlier this week on HBO's "Inside the NFL")
-Katie Couric (uggg) does a piece on Pittsburgh's Hines Ward and going back to Korea to find his roots (kinda like what ESPN's Jeremy Schapp did earlier this week).
-Randy Cross reports from Baghdad with the U.S. troops watching
-Stevie Nicks (12:55 p.m.), Cirque de Soleil (2:45 p.m.) and Bill Joel on the national anthem (3:15 p.m.) is also included.
The SB related junk actually starts at 9 a.m. with NFL Films filler, Phil Simms' "All-Iron" team is on at 10 a.m., which includes Hannah Storm talking to Doug Williams.
-And after it's all over, James van der Beek guest stars on an episode of "Criminal Minds," where Jim Nantz and Simms make a cameo in a storyline that deals with a murder at a Super Bowl party. How uplifting.
Also, CBS' "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" goes live from Miami and will pull in players before they fly home.

Wow, Stevie is an opening act for Cirque du Soleil

. Kinda reminds me of that scene in This is Spinal Tap where they are the opening act for a puppet show. That was classic.

So there is almost a two-hour timeslot between Stevie and Cirque. Hmmm... do you suppose, Mama could possibly be getting a full set in?

I thought I read in another thread that Cirque had 4 minutes to set up and 2 minutes to break down... so, unless there is another opening act following Stevie, could she have that whole timeslot to herself? Let's hope!
